Savory Asparagus Tart

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. After washing the asparagus, trim off the ends.

Step 2

Add the asparagus to the pot of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Step 3

While the asparagus are cooking, unroll the puff pastry onto a baking sheet and poke a few holes using a fork. Bake for 5 minutes at 200°C.

Step 4

In a bowl, mix together the goat cheese, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt & pepper.

Step 5

Remove the puff pastry from the oven and delicately spread the goat cheese mixture onto the surface.

Step 6

Lay the asparagus on top of the goat cheese mixture. Please note: If they're very thick, cut in half lengthwise before placing on the tart.

Step 7

Add salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil on top of the tart and bake at 200°C for 15 minutes.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the pesto with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and set aside.

Step 9

Remove the tart from the oven when it's golden brown. Drizzle the pesto mixture on the tart right before serving. Enjoy!
