Ingredients

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry defrosted
• 3/4 cup Gruyere or Fontina cheese freshly grated (or use any white cheese you like)
• 1 bunch of thin asparagus trimmed* (you may not need it all)
• 1/4- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Optional Garnishes:

• Fresh lemon zest
• Drizzle of aged balsamic vinegar
• Cooked crumbled bacon
• Folded prosciutto
• Toasted Pine Nuts
• Crumbled Goat Cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully unfold the defrosted puff pastry and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Roll the dough out to 9"11", then place it on the baking tray.
3. Sprinkle the puff pastry with the Gruyere cheese, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
4. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit inside the tart shell; arrange them in a single layer over Gruyere.
5. Drizzle lightly or brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and cheese is melted. Start watching at 15 minutes. All ovens are different.
8. Garnish with any of the garnishes if desired.

Notes

• If you can’t find thin asparagus, simply partially blanch or lightly roast it before adding it to the tart. It will finish cooking in the oven.

What you’ll need:

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry defrosted

  Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Carefully unfold the defrosted puff pastry and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet

• Leave an 1-inch boarder around the edges. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the 1-inch boarder. This will keep the middle from puffing up.

• Sprinkle the pricked center part of the puff pastry with the Gruyere cheese.

• Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Drizzle lightly or brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper.

• Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese.

• Bake for about 20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed, and cheese is melted. Start watching at 15 minutes. All ovens are different.

• Garnish with lemon zest or balsamic vinegar and bacon if desired.

Note: if you can’t fine thin asparagus, simply partially blanch or lightly roast the asparagus before adding it to the tart. It will finish cooking in the oven.
