Frozen puff pastry is one of our favorite short cut ingredients. Excellent for a quick dessert, but also for appetizers and simple entrees such as this delicious asparagus tart!
Preparation
STEP 1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
STEP 2
Spread thawed puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Score the outer inch with a knife to create a border. Poke holes with a fork throughout the middle and bake crust for 10 minutes to par-cook.
STEP 3
Trim bottoms of asparagus and toss with savory jam.
STEP 4
Remove crust from oven and press down center if puffed up. Sprinkle with Emmental. Place asparagus in a single layer evenly over cheese.
STEP 5
Sprinkle with Asiago, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
STEP 6
Brush edges of puff pastry with beaten egg. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until pastry is browned, cheese is melted and asparagus is cooked through.
