Ingredients
- 1 sheet defrosted frozen puff pastry (if the puff pastry comes in a square, roll it out to the approximate desired shape)
- 1 150g garlic & fine herbs Boursin cheese
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
- Garnishes: lemon zest & chili flakes / ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Lay out an 11x14 inch (approximate) sheet of puff pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet. Use the tines of a form to prick the puff pastry sheet.
- Use the back of the spoon to spread out the Boursin cheese onto the puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border around.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the shredded Gruyere cheese over the Boursin cheese, then layer the asparagus spears over the Gruyere cheese.
- Finally sprinkle the rest of the shredded Gruyere cheese over the asparagus and bake the tart for 22-28 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Serve slices topped with lemon zest and chili flakes if desired.
Notes
- If you can’t find boursin cheese, you can substitute with 150g softened herb/garlic cream cheese.
- A good substitute for Gruyere cheese is swiss cheese or an old white cheddar cheese.
- Can I make this ahead of time? I wouldn’t recommend baking this ahed of time BUT you can definitely prep the ingredients! Shred the cheese, remove the woody ends of the asparagus and defrost the puff pastry in the fridge.
- Leftovers can be store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed reheated in the oven at 350F for 5-10 minutes.
