The Recipe

Ingredients & Instructions

Everything you need to make this dish at home.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 cup carrots, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 egg yolk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and transfer to the baking sheet. Score an approximate 1-inch border around the edges without cutting through.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add honey and bourbon, stirring to combine. Remove from heat.
  4. Toss the sliced carrots and asparagus in half of the bourbon honey glaze, season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the center of the puff pastry, inside the scored border.
  6. Arrange the glazed carrots and asparagus on top of the ricotta. Drizzle remaining bourbon honey glaze over the vegetables.
  7. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese and fresh thyme leaves over the tart.
  8. Brush the border of the puff pastry with egg yolk for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden and the vegetables are tender.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
