- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Heat a griddle pan to high, then griddle the asparagus for 5-6 mins, turning frequently until lightly charred all over. Remove, roughly chop and set aside. Mix the soft cheese, crushed chillies, tarragon and some seasoning in a bowl.
- Unroll the pastry, then use a sharp knife to cut it into 12 equal pieces. Generously grease a 12-hole muffin tin, then mould each piece of pastry into a hole, folding the edges to fit snugly.
- Divide the cheese mixture between the pastry-lined muffin cases, then fill each case with a mixture of the fish and asparagus pieces. Glaze the borders with the egg and bake for 30 mins. Sprinkle with extra tarragon.
