Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pkg frozen puff pastry (phyllo dough)
c flour for work surface
5 1/2 oz gruyere cheese (2 cups shredded)
1 1/2 lb fresh asparagus
1 Tbsp olive oil
pinch salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Flour surface and roll puff pastry out into a 12 X 7 inch rectangle. (You can adjust it for your dish)
  • 2. With a sharp knife, cut 1 inch in from the edges every 1/2 inch over so you can braid the edges over for prettiness or leave straight as it keeps from puffing up too much.
  • 3. Bake until very lightly golden about 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Watch it carefully!
  • 4. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit across the shell in a single layer. I alternate ends and tips sometimes. Brush with oil, season with salt & pepper and bake until tender 20 to 25 minutes. I will use Sherry Parfait's method of pre-cooking spears in olive oil in a skillet, just a little first to soften them before I bake them.
