Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 1 bunch asparagus
  • 4 oz cream cheese or unflavored greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded cheese I usually do a combination of gouda and parmesan. Sometimes cheddar
  • 1 tsp onion salt
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • zest of one lemon

Instructions

  • Thaw a sheet of puff pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet. Gently roll it out once thawed. It shouldn’t spread more than a half inch.
  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Spread cream cheese or greek yogurt over the pastry, leaving about ½ inch bare around the edges. Sprinkle with onion salt and shredded cheese. Add Asparagus, alternating up and down (See photo). Add salt and pepper to taste. Finish by zesting one lemon over top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and asparagus is fork tender.

Notes

You can top this with bacon crumbles or prosciutto if that's your thing
You can optionally brush the edges with egg wash or butter/oil for a deeper brown
If you prefer a crispier crust you can bake the puff pastry alone for 10 minutes before topping with the rest of the ingredients
