Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
Sprinkle some flour onto parchment paper and carefully roll out the puff pastry into a 25x35 cm (10x14 inch) rectangle. Place the rolled dough onto a baking tray.
With a sharp knife, gently make neat incisions around the perimeter of the dough, leaving approximately 1.5-2 cm (0.6-0.8 inch) from the edge without cutting all the way through. This will help create a beautiful edge during baking.
Using a fork, lightly pierce the dough inside the incisions to allow steam to escape and prevent the tart from puffing up unevenly in the oven. Brush the surface with Dijon mustard.
Step 2
Brush the edges of the tart with the beaten egg to give it a lovely golden color while baking.
Evenly spread the grated cheese diagonally on top of the asparagus for pleasant presentation.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle a little olive oil for added flavor. Arrange the cherry tomatoes alongside and sprinkle the chopped garlic over the top.
Finally, top it all off with Parmesan cheese for extra richness.
Step 3
Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 23-28 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and puffed. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overbake.
Step 4
Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and if desired, drizzle it with balsamic glaze for a delicious finish. Cut into slices, serve on a platter, and enjoy this scrumptious asparagus tart as a perfect snack or brunch dish!

Variations
Faq
- What if my puff pastry is too thick?
If your puff pastry feels thick, just use a rolling pin to roll it out to about a 1/4 inch thickness. This will help it cook evenly!
- Can I use different vegetables instead of asparagus?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative. Zucchini, spinach, or bell peppers are all great alternatives!
- How can I tell when the tart is fully baked?
The tart is ready when it’s golden brown and puffy. You can poke it gently; it should feel firm to the touch.
- Is it okay to prepare the tart in advance?
You can prepare the tart in advance and store it in the fridge, but it's best to bake it fresh right before serving for maximum crunch!
- How do I store leftover tart?
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results!
- Can I freeze the prepared tart?
Yes! You can freeze the unbaked tart. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, and it will keep for up to 2 months. Bake straight from the freezer, adding a few minutes to the baking time.
