Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
Carefully unroll the thawed puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edge of the pastry with a knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, Dijon mustard, chopped chives, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until well combined. Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese.
4
Arrange the trimmed asparagus spears within the scored border of the puff pastry. Pour the egg and goat cheese mixture evenly over the asparagus.
5
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed, and the custard is set. If the pastry edges brown too quickly, you can loosely cover them with foil.
6
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle lightly with olive oil if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes, feta or Gruyere could work, but goat cheese offers a unique tangy flavor that complements the asparagus beautifully.

Can I prepare this ahead?

You can prepare the custard filling and trim the asparagus a day ahead. Store them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What if I don't have puff pastry?

A store-bought pie crust can be used as an alternative, but puff pastry offers a lighter, flakier texture that is highly recommended for this tart.
