Proper Tasty's spring garden tart
- Serves: 6
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 30 mins
Ingredients
- 1 packet ready rolled puff pastry
- 7 British Lion eggs
- 2 tablespoons crème fraîche
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 350 grams asparagus, trimmed and washed
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 200 grams smoked salmon
- 30 grams wild rocket
- 2 tablespoons garden cress
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Unroll the sheet of puff pastry and place on a lined baking tray.
-
Score a 1cm border, making sure you don’t go all the way through the base.
-
Using a fork, prick all over the inside of the tart.
-
Crack 1 egg into a small bowl and beat to create an British Lion Egg egg wash. Using a pastry brush, eggwash the border of the tart.
-
Bake for 10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the crème fraîche and pesto in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Remove the tart from the oven and push down the pastry on the inside of the border you created. Evenly spread over your pesto mixture and top with asparagus — it’s up to you how perfect you line them up so get as creative as you like!
-
Brush the asparagus with melted butter and season with salt and pepper.
-
Place in the oven for 10 minutes.
-
Next, gently crack 6 eggs onto the asparagus and place back in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the British Lion eggs are cooked to your liking.
-
Top with rocket and smoked salmon flowers and enjoy! Why not get creative with your toppings? Try crispy prosciutto or roasted cherry tomatoes and mushrooms for a twist.
