Asparagus and Goat Cheese Tart
I wanted to make a meatless spring dinner and had fresh asparagus on hand as well as a spare sheet of frozen puff pastry. So I topped the crisp and buttery puff pastry with a bright spring mixture of asparagus spears, spring onions, mushrooms and salty goat cheese. Yum. It was quick and easy to prepare and super satisfying. Perfect with a side salad made from spring greens.
