Ingredients (makes about 2 Tarts):

- 2 sheets frozen Puff Pastry, thawed to room temperature

- 1/2 jar Zia Hatch Green Chile, strained

- 4oz soft Goat Cheese

- 1 Egg, lightly beaten

- 1/2 bunch Asparagus (about 8oz), ends trimmed

- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream

- 1 Garlic Clove, minced or grated

- 1/2 tbsp each of Tarragon Leaves, plus more for garnish

- 1/2 tbsp Lemon Zest

- Shaved Parmesan Cheese

- Salt and Pepper

- Pinch of ground or freshly grated Nutmeg

 

Directions: 

1. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix together egg, goat cheese, garlic, tarragon lemon zest, nutmeg and salt in a medium - large bowl. Mash together until smooth, then add heavy cream and beat until evenly mixed in as well. 

2. Roll out puff pastry and lightly score and fold a 1/2 inch border around the edges to create a crust. 

3. Gently spread the mixture from step 1 evenly inside the scored border of the puff pastry. Gently line up asparagus spears on top, then add Zia Hatch Green Chile and sprinkle with some salt and grated Parmesan. Lightly drizzle olive oil on top. 

4. Bake about 25-30 minutes until the puff pastry is golden. If you are at higher altitude, you may need to bake up to 35 minutes. As you remove from the oven, immediately garnish with more shaved parmesan and tarragon leaves. Let cool and enjoy!
