Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the thawed puff pastry into a 10x14-inch rectangle, then carefully place it on the prepared sheet.
  3. Score a 1-inch border around the edges and prick the center with a fork to prevent puffing.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown; if puffed, gently press down in the center.
  5. Whisk together the eggs until frothy, then add Greek yogurt, minced garlic, and salt. Mix until smooth.
  6. Fold in shredded sharp white cheddar cheese and spread evenly over the partially baked tart shell.
  7. Melt butter in a saucepan, then sauté asparagus for 2 minutes until tender-crisp.
  8. Add diced ham to the pan, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  9. Scatter the mixture over the filling, then whisk an egg with water for the egg wash.
  10. Brush the egg wash over the edges of the crust.
  11. Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until set.
  12. Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh thyme leaves.
