3. Roll out the puff pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface, use it to line a large pizza tin (cut off any excess dough).
4. Fill the puff pastry mold with two thirds of the egg, milk and cheese mixture, spread the asparagus pieces on top and pour in the rest of the mixture. Scatter the pine nuts on top.
5. Bake in a preheated oven (225 degrees) for about 30 minutes.
