Ingredients

  • 8 ounce puff pastry one of two in the package
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 4-5 large sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup grated gruyere more if feeling indulgent
  • ½ pound asparagus
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • salt pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 11 x 9. Cut down to 11 x 7, then cut the smaller piece into four 1/2 inch strips for the sides (there will be a little extra). Brush the outside half inch of the rectangle with beaten egg then lay pastry strips on top. Prick the inside of the pastry crust with a fork (see pictures above).
  2. Sprinkle the inside of the crust with thyme leaves, avoiding the raised edges. Follow with grated gruyere.
  3. Remove tough ends from asparagus then cut asparagus to size. Arrange on top of the gruyere. Drizzle with olive oil, then add salt and pepper. Brush the edges of the pastry with more beaten egg.
  4. Bake at 400 F until crust is golden, about 20-25 minutes.
