Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, gently roll out the puff pastry to fit a baking sheet.
3. Transfer the rolled puff pastry to the baking sheet, trimming any excess around the edges.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese, chopped thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well blended.
5. Spread the goat cheese mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a small border around the edges to create a crust.
6. Arrange the shelled fava beans over the goat cheese layer, distributing them evenly.
7. Drizzle olive oil over the fava beans and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
8. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the fava beans are tender.
9. Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
10. Serve warm, cut into squares or wedges, and enjoy the delightful flavors.
