Yield 16 3" squares

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 pkge (1 sheet) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 3/4 lbs. asparagus
1 medium onion
3 T. butter
S & P
2 oz. Swiss cheese (about 1/2 c. grated)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 425F. Snap off ends of asparagus where stalks break easily and peel stalks if desired. Cut off asparagus tips. Cut stalks into thin slices on the diagonal. Chop onion. Melt butter in frying pan over medium heat and saute onions until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add all the asparagus, 1 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring often, until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed. On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 10" X 12" rectangle. Put on an ungreased baking sheet and prick with a fork every 1/2". Bake until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Grate cheese. Top pastry with asparagus and onion mixture then top with grated cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts, 5 to 10 minutes. Cut into 3" squares and serve immediately.
