Cheat’s cheese and
asparagus tart

This easy tart uses ready-made puff pastry and our delicious cheddar cheese sauce (available in-store) to create a beautifully simple spring dish

Serves 4-6

1 sheet of puff pastry
½ tub of M&S cheddar cheese sauce
13 British asparagus spears
A small handful of watercress, to serve
A small handful of M&S micro-leaf salad, to serve
Juice of 1 lemon
Fresh mint, to serve

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6, and place a flat baking tray inside to preheat.

Roll out the pastry into a rectangle, then spoon over the cheese sauce, leaving a gap around the edges. Bake on the preheated baking sheet for 25 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

Cut the asparagus spears at the end to remove their woody ends. Take the pastry out and lay the asparagus on top, then return to the oven for 4-5 minutes.

Dress the watercress and salad with the lemon juice and scatter over the mint. Serve the tart with the minty, lemony salad.
