Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 10 large confit garlic cloves smashed and whole
- 1 bunch asparagus tough ends trimmed
- 1 cup gruyere cheese shredded or crumbled (vegan cheese works fine as well)
- small handful fresh thyme
- a sprinkling of flaky sea salt and fresh black pepper
- 2 tbsp. honey or maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (lightly greased).
- Use a rolling pin to gently roll out puff pastry. Aim for a rectangle, roughly the same size as a standard baking sheet. Transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Score the edges of the puffed pastry (around 1/2 - 1 inch ) and poke holes into the puffed pastry with a fork throughout.
- Add garlic confit and fresh thyme pieces to the puffed pastry. Randomly crushed some pieces of garlic and leave another whole.
- Arrange asparagus spears as you please, have fun and get creative. Just stay within the scored border.
- Now add the cheese (stay within the border).
- Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and quite puffed up.
- Serve immediately as desired, into triangles, squares etc. Highly recommend serving with honey!
