Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms thinly sliced
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 ounces asparagus trimmed and sliced ¼ inch thin (approx. 1 cup)
  • 2 scallions both white and green parts thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces goat cheese at room temperature - divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 sheet puff pastry 9x9½, thawed
  • 1 handful fresh arugula
  • 9 slices prosciutto

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Melt butter in a skillet. Add in the mushrooms. Cook, stirring frequently, until they are softened and reduced in size. Season with salt and set aside to cool.
  • To make the asparagus topping: Gently mix asparagus, scallions, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Reserve 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese and set aside.
  • Mix the rest of the goat cheese and olive oil in a bowl.
  • To assemble the tart: Carefully unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a roller, roll it into a 10x10 square dough. Transfer it onto the parchment lined sheet.
  • Spread goat cheese-oil mixture over the puff pastry leaving a 1-inch border throughout the sides. Top it 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.
