Lemon and asparagus tart
Description
The asparagus tart has a pleasant lemony aroma, and the Gruyère cheese makes it creamy, all combined with a crispy crust. If desired, you can add mushrooms or pesto sauce to the tart.

Step 1
1. Thaw the puff pastry. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle measuring 25x40 cm. Trim the uneven edges. Place the pastry onto a baking sheet. Using a sharp knife, mark a rectangle approximately 2.5 cm from the edges. With a fork, prick the dough along the marked boundaries at 2.5 cm intervals. This will help form the edges of the pastry.

2. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in the oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the dough from the oven and sprinkle with grated Gruyère cheese. Trim the ends of the asparagus so that they match the width of the dough rectangle.
