Puff pastry asparagus tart
The asparagus tart is a must-have spring dish for any asparagus lover's table.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 bunch of green asparagus
- 200 g cream cheese
- 100 g Cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp almond flakes
- 2 tbsp chives
- handful of green peas
- 1 egg (to brush the edges)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Wash the asparagus thoroughly and cut off the woody ends, then cut them into smaller pieces and set aside.
- If you use frozen peas, blanch them in hot water for a while or simply set aside to thaw. Then pour it onto a paper towel to dry it and set it aside.
- Place the puff pastry on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Use a fork to prick the dough, leaving a margin of about 2 cm around it (leave the edges free).
- Spread the cream cheese on the prepared dough, leaving the edges intact. Distribute the grated Cheddar cheese, previously prepared asparagus and green peas evenly. Finally, sprinkle with chopped chives and almond flakes.
- Brush the free edges of the tart with beaten egg. Bake the tart for about 30-35 minutes, or longer if the dough is still raw. After removing from the oven, set aside for a few minutes and then cut into smaller portions. Enjoy your meal!
