It's one of my favorite easy things to throw together, and you'll love it!
Asparagus-Gruyere Tart (from Everyday Food)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
2 c. Gruyere cheese, shredded
1 1/2 lbs. medium asparagus
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper
1. Preheat oven to 400. On a large baking sheet, roll out puff pastry to a 16x10 in. rectangle. Lightly score pastry dough 1 inch from the edges to mark a rectangle and use a fork to pierce the dough inside of the markings at 1/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
2. Remove pastry shell from oven and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim bottoms of asparagus to fit horizontally inside the tart shell, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20-25 minutes.
This looks delicious. Unfortunately the only asparagus available to us lately are from Peru. I can't imagine they are any good coming from half way around the world. I will save this recipe for next spring when I can buy locally grown asparagus. Haley is coming for dinner on Wednesday this week and we are having fish tacos with mango slaw. She brought me the last two mangoes from her tree since ours got depleted a couple of weeks ago. Although, our avacado tree is coming along nicely and we should have some ripe ones in the next couple of weeks.
