    5. Whisk together cream cheese, yoghurt, eggs, salt and pepper until just combined, stir through fresh herbs and pour ¾ of the cheese mixture into the tart case.

    6. Scatter over leeks, asparagus and peas and dollop on the remaining cheese mixture and scatter the pine nuts over

    7. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until filling has set.

    8. To serve, cool slightly, scatter over the remaining fresh herbs and serve with a salad.
