Introduction
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Brush the asparagus with some olive oil, salt and pepper and griddle in a griddle pan until slightly charred.
- Fry the bacon in a little oil until crispy, and set aside to cool before cutting into small pieces.
- Roll out the pastry on a rack or on a large baking tray, and score a small border on the inside of the pastry, which will create a risen edge in the oven.
- Crumble the goat's cheese and press all over the pastry inside the border.
- Lay the asparagus out evenly and sprinkle the chopped bacon on top.
- Combine the apricot conserve and balsamic vinegar in a jar, close tightly and give it a vigorous shake. Drizzle over the pastry.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a beaten egg, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
