Ingredients
- 1 heet puff pastry
- 4 ounces gruyere cheese
- 3 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 15 asparagus spears approximately (see note 2)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced into thin, flat, slices
- 1 large egg white
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Place a thawed puff pastry sheet on a piece of parchment paper and roll it into a 10” x 16” rectangle.
- Use a knife to lightly score the dough about 1 inch from the edge, drawing a rectangle shape into the dough (don't go all the way through!).
- Prick the inside of the drawn rectangle with a fork. This will make the edges puff up and leave the center lower.
- In a small bowl whisk the eggs white and then use a basting brush to brush the egg white over the outer edges of the dough.
- Move the parchment paper with the tart dough on it to a baking sheet and put it in the oven to bake for 12 minutes. When it has finished baking set aside. See note #1 below.
- While the pastry bakes wash and trim about 15 asparagus spears (or however many you will need to cover the puff pastry). See note #2 below.
- Par-cook your asparagus by either boiling them for 1-2 minutes or steaming them. I wrap my asparagus spears in a damp paper towel and put them in the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Once they are done run them under cold water to stop the cooking process and then dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle the Gruyere cheese and goat cheese over the tart (leaving the outer edges bare).
- Lay the asparagus spears and sliced cherry tomatoes on the cheese.
- Place the tart back in the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve immediately.

Notes
- I suggest using the thinnest asparagus spears you can find so it will cook quickly in the oven.
- We used Pepperidge Farms pastry sheets. Your bake time may vary with other brands or from scratch recipes.
