Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (10x15-inch ) thawed
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese or cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 lb. medium asparagus trimmed
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet to fit a baking sheet.
- Place the rolled-out puff pastry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Score a border about 1 inch from the edges of the puff pastry, creating a border but not cutting all the way through.
- Sprinkle the shredded Gruyère (or cheddar) cheese evenly within the scored border.
- Arrange the trimmed asparagus spears on top of the cheese, alternating the direction of the tips.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the asparagus.
- Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
- Once baked, let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve and enjoy your delicious Asparagus Tart!
Notes
- Thaw the puff pastry just until it’s pliable enough to work with.
- Be sure to remove the tough ends from each asparagus stalk.
- Use asparagus that’s similar in size and trim the ends to the same length so they cook evenly.
- Dry the asparagus thoroughly after washing it to remove excess moisture.
- For the best flavor, use freshly grated cheese.
