Instructions

Pre-heat the oven to 220ºC/430ºF. Line a baking sheet with baking/parchment paper.
To make the cheese mixture, combine the cream cheese, egg yolks, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper and mix well.
Gently roll the puff pastry out into a large rectangle (to fit the baking sheet). Score a border around the edge (taking care not to cut all the way through the pastry).
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the puff pastry, staying within the borders then top with the asparagus and season with salt and pepper.. Brush the edges of the pastry with beaten egg.
Place the tart into the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
