Simple Asparagus & Goat Cheese Tart

This recipe was created after I was searching for a tasty and healthy snack to have when I was terribly ill for a month. This recipe is very simple to make, healthy, satisfying, and darn-right tasty! A perfect spring-time brunch snack.

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C.

Step 2

If you are using frozen puff pastry, leave it out at room temperature until pliable, about 20-30 minutes. If you are using homemade puff pastry that is at fridge temperature, leave it out on the counter for about 5 minutes, or until pliable.

Step 3

Add the 1 egg, 8 ounces of goat cheese, 1/4 cup of grated cheese (if using), 2 tbsp of lemon juice, 1/2 tsp of lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp of salt to a bowl and mix until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Flour your work surface. If you are using frozen puff pastry, unroll 2 sheets, overlap them by about 1/2 - 1 inch, and press the edges together to seal. This should form a rectangle that is about 17" x 9". If need be, you can roll it out more until it is about 17" x 9". If using homemade puff pastry, simply roll it out until it is 17" x 9".

Step 5

Fold the pastry edges inward, creating about 1/2 - 1 inch border all the way around. Press to seal.

Step 6

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and spread the goat cheese mixture inside the puff pastry border.

Step 7

Add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes. You can make a pretty design if you like, but I prefer to just evenly spread everything around.

Step 8

Drizzle the top with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sea salt if you want.

Step 9

Bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden-brown.
