This is from Canadian Living's Best Recipes Ever show. It is a great appetizer when you are looking for something a little different. I used the prerolled puff pastry for this, just unroll, and use the parchment to line your baking pan. It can be served warm or chilled. Ingredients:
1 lb fresh asparagus (thinner spears are better) |
1 sheet puff pastry (prerolled gives you the perfect size) |
1 tablespoon dijon mustard |
3/4 cup shredded gruyere cheese |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Blanch asparagus (just till it turns bright green) and chill in ice water.
2. Unroll thawed puff pastry sheet on baking sheet.
3. Brush with mustard, leave a 1 border.
4. Lay asparagus spears on pastry, alternate ends so each cut will get tips as well as the stem.
5. Sprinkle with cheese & pepper.
6. Beat 1 egg with 1 Tbsp of milk, brush border with the egg wash.
7. Bake at 450 for about 15 - 20 minutes, till puffed & pastry is browned.
8. Cut down the middle through the asparagus spears, then across to make 8 or 10 pieces.
