Ingredients
- 1 heet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounce tub of creme fraiche (substitute mascarpone cheese, or Boursin cheese)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 lb thin asparagus, trimmed to about 6 inches long
- maple syrup, for brushing (a few tablespoons)
- sea salt
- a handful of fresh herbs like thyme for a garnish, if desired.
Instructions
- preheat oven to 400F.
- Unfold the puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper and gently roll the dough out to roughly a 9x13 rectangle. that's just a little bit bigger than the original size, and don't stress about being exact.
- Transfer the dough, still on the paper, to a baking sheet. Run a blunt knife around the edge of the rectangle, about an inch in from the edge, to form a frame. Don't cut all the way through the dough, just score it. This will create a nice border for your tart once it bakes.
- Spread a layer of creme fraiche over the top, inside your border. You won't need the whole container. Grate the lemon zest over it.
- Arrange the asparagus over top of the tart. Brush the asparagus and edges of the tart lightly with maple syrup. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until puffed and golden. Top with thyme or other fresh herb, if desired.
Notes
- If your asparagus is thick, you might need to either blanch it first, or slice it in half lengthwise so it will cook quickly enough.
