Method
- Preheat a baking sheet in the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Roll out a 375g pack puff pastry to line a 27cm x 19cm tart tin. Blanch 150g fine asparagus spears for 1 minute in salted boiling water, drain and refresh in cold water.
- Mix 2 medium free-range eggs with 250ml double cream, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 40g grated gruyère and 40g grated cheddar. Season, then pour into the pastry case. Lay the asparagus on top and add 6 spring onions, trimmed and halved lengthways.
- Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 25 minutes until set and golden (you can cover the filling with paper if it browns too quickly).
