5. Transfer eggs to a clean plate, keeping yolks intact.

10. Top with remaining 1/4 cup Gruyère cheese.
11. Crack the 2 remaining eggs over the top, spacing them evenly.
12. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the eggs are set and the pastry edges are deep golden brown.
13. Let the tart rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set properly.
14. Use a sharp serrated knife to cut clean slices through the flaky pastry.

Just baked to perfection, this tart delivers contrasting textures of flaky crust, creamy filling, and crisp-tender asparagus.
