Instructions

Roll the thawed puff pastry sheet flat into an 11 x 14-inch rectangle over a lightly floured cutting board surface.
Transfer the dough to the baking pan floor basin venting the center area and folded edges thoroughly with a fork tool.
Spread 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard evenly over the center floor leaving a clean 1-inch border from the edge track line.
Scatter the shredded Gruyere and Romano cheeses uniformly across the mustard floor to form a thick protective blanket.
Arrange the trimmed whole green asparagus spears in a single tight layer across the cheese matrix horizontally.
Top the green crop canopy with sliced shallots lemon zest minced garlic cloves and fresh picked thyme leaves.
Drizzle the olive oil over the surface dusting the tart with kosher salt and black pepper to flavor.
