Ingredients
  

  • 1 puff pastry sheet thawed and rolled to about 10 x 15 inches
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 3 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 3 ounces gruyere cheese shredded
  • 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 small lemon zested
  • 3 tablespoons feta crumbled
  • ¼ teaspoon flaky salt or kosher salt
  • teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
  • Roll your puff pastry sheet to a 10 x 15-inch rectangle. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Score a 1-inch border around the edges with a dull knife, then use a fork to prick holes across the center to prevent over-puffing.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside, keeping the oven heated.
  • Spread a thin layer of dijon mustard inside the border. It’s okay if the pastry deflates slightly.
  • Top with shredded mozzarella and gruyere cheeses for a melty base layer.
  • Toss asparagus with olive oil and kosher salt, then arrange spears over the cheese layer.
  • Create small gaps in the asparagus to crack eggs directly onto the tart.
  • Sprinkle with flaky salt, lemon zest, and a touch of black pepper.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.
  • Let the tart cool for 5 minutes, crumble feta on top, then slice and serve!
