- Spread the mix onto the pastry, staying within the border then top with asparagus spears.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with the remainder of the beaten egg.
- Return the tart to the oven and bake for 15-20 mins until the pastry is golden and the filling is set.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 mins. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Slice and serve with a green salad.
