Ingredients

  • 1
    sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 10-12
    asparagus spears
  • 1-2
    cups shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400 F.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, bring a sheet of puff pastry to room temperature. Gently unfold or roll out the dough and, using a sharp knife, score it about 1 inch from the edge, making a rectangle all the way around. This will be the “crust” once the pastry bakes.

  3. 3

    Inside the rectangle, pierce the dough every ½ inch or so to prevent bubbles.

  4. 4

    Bake the dough at 400 F for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the baked pastry with 1-2 cups of shredded Gruyère.

  6. 6

    Lay full asparagus spears on top of the cheese and brush with olive oil.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

  8. 8

    Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes and serve.
