How to Make It
Prepare the Pastry Base: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Roll out the puff pastry and place it in a tart tin or on a lined baking tray. Score a small border around the edges to help the pastry rise.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper. Crumble the goat’s cheese into the mixture and stir until combined.
Assemble the Tart: Pour the filling onto the pastry base and neatly arrange the asparagus spears on top. If using herbs, scatter them over the tart.
Bake to Perfection: Place the tart in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the pastry is golden brown.
Finish with a Drizzle: Once baked, drizzle a little olive oil over the top for extra flavor.
