You won't believe how quickly you can rustle up this tart! It's a midweek lunch dream.
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 1 tart
Ingredients
- 150 g vegan or regular cream cheese
- zest of 1 lemon plus extra to serve
- 1 clove of garlic minced
- 10 g parsley very finely chopped
- 320 g puff pastry sheet most of these are vegan, but do check
- 350 g asparagus woody ends trimmed
- olive oil for glazing
- sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°c (fan assisted)/390°f/gas 6.
-
Combine the cream cheese, lemon zest, garlic, parsley and a good pinch of black pepper in a mixing bowl. Beat until combined and creamy.
-
Roll the puff pastry sheet out on a baking tray. Use a knife to create an indent about 3cm in from the edge of the pastry, around the whole rectangle, to create the crust.
-
Spread the cream cheese mixture all the way up to the crust, then lay the asparagus over the top. Use a pastry brush to glaze the whole tart with a little olive oil, then bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry around the edges is lovely and golden.
-
Finish with a sprinkling of extra lemon zest, a pinch of sea salt and a good grind of black pepper.
Recipe Notes
Most shop-bought puff pastry is vegan, but do check if you are unsure. I use the Jus-Rol brand.
