Directions

to make the toppings
- In a medium size bowl gently mix asparagus, scallions, garlic, salt and pepper.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese and set aside. In a small bowl, mix the rest of the goat cheese and olive oil.
to assemble the tart
- On a lightly floured surface, carefully unfold the puff pastry. Using a rolling pin, roll it into a 10x10 square. Transfer it onto the parchment lined baking sheet.
- Spread goat cheese-oil mixture over the puff pastry leaving 1-inch border throughout the sides. Top it off with mushrooms and asparagus mixture making sure that they are evenly distributed throughout the tart.
- Brush sides with a little bit of water and fold it onto itself, towards the middle, on all sides.
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until the sides of the tart turn golden brown.
- Let it cool for 5 minutes. Scatter the reserved goat cheese in small chunks all over the tart. If using, garnish with arugula and prosciutto.
- Slice it into smaller pieces and serve while it is still warm.
