Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb asparagus spears (trimmed and rinsed)
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Unfold puff pastry on a piece of parchment paper. Roll it in one direction so it's a rectangle approximately 14" by 10" and the lines from it being folded are gone.
  • Using a small, sharp knife, score the puff pastry approximately 1/2 inch from the edge of the puff pastry, without cutting through the dough to the bottom. This will allow the edge to rise and create a puffy, crispy crust.
  • Spread the shredded mozzarella (1 cup) on top of the puff pastry, trying to stay inside the scored lines.
  • Top with the grated parmesan cheese (1/4 cup).
  • Arrange the asparagus spears on top, close together, alternating the directions they're facing so the ends and tips alternate.
  • Drizzle the top with the olive oil and sprinkle with a little bit of kosher salt and black pepper.
  • Bake at 400 for approximately 20 minutes, or until edges of pastry are golden brown.
  • Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes and slice into quarters. Serve immediately.
