Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll puff pastry into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallot for 2 minutes until translucent, then add zucchini, asparagus, and peas. Cook 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetable mixture evenly over the center of the pastry, leaving a 2-inch border. Sprinkle with thyme and goat cheese. Fold pastry edges over filling, pleating as you go.
  4. Step 4: Brush folded edges with beaten egg and bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Rest 5 minutes, then sprinkle with chives.
