Submitted by JenPo

"From Everyday Food. This is very simple and works great as an appetizer. I have substituted swiss with good results."

 

• Ready In: 50mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• flour, for rolling out pastry
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
• 155.92 g gruyere cheese, shredded (2 cups) or 155.92 g swiss cheese
• thick asparagus, trimmed
• 14.79 ml olive oil
• salt and black pepper

directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Roll the pastry into a 16-by-10 inch rectangle and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Lightly score the dough with a knife 1-inch from the edges to form a rectangular outer edge. With a fork, pierce the dough inside the edge at half-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
3. Remove the pastry from the oven to scatter the cheese on top. Alternate the asparagus tip to end in a single layer on the cheese.
4. Brush with oil and season to taste. Bake until asparagus is tender, which will take about 20 to 25 minutes.

I absolutely loved this tart! I used about 1-1/2 cups of a gruyere-swiss cheese blend, and freshly ground coarse salt and pepper. Use a good quality olive oil if you can; I think it makes a difference in this recipe. Thank you, I will be making this again soon!
