Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if using frozen
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 cup mixed salad leaves
  • 1 ball burrata or fresh mozzarella
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the puff pastry onto the prepared baking tray. Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry without cutting all the way through.
  • Savory Base: In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese. Spread this mixture evenly over the center of the puff pastry, avoiding the scored border.
  • Add Asparagus: Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer over the savory base. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Brush and Sprinkle: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and poppy seeds around the border.
  • Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed, and the asparagus is tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve: Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool slightly. Top with mixed salad leaves and tear the burrata or fresh mozzarella over the tart.

Notes

  • Storing: To keep the tart for the next day, remove the cheese and store it separately to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Variations: For extra flavor and color, feel free to add other vegetables, like cherry tomatoes or sliced bell peppers.
  • Serving Suggestion: For an extra burst of flavor, drizzle with balsamic glaze or squeeze lemon juice before serving.
