Asparagus Gruyere Tart

What you need:

    • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed, but cold
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 1/2 cups Gruyere cheese, grated
    • 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed
    • Salt and pepper, to taste
    • Olive oil

Directions:

    1. Unfold your puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Slice into 6 rectangles. This is particularly easy since it's already got a creased from being folded into thirds.
    2. Score a 1/4-inch border along the inside of each rectangle and place onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
    3. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
    4. Top with cheese and then add 5 to 6 asparagus spears on to the cheese.
    5. Brush or mist with olive oil and sprinkle with more pepper.
    6. Bake at 400* for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before serving.
