How to Make Asparagus And Gruyere Tart

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Roll out one sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry to a 16 x 10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Score a 1-inch border around the pastry with a sharp knife, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  4. Spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly within the scored border.
  5. Sprinkle 1 cup (4 oz) grated Gruyere cheese over the mustard.
  6. Arrange 1 pound of trimmed asparagus spears in a single layer over the cheese.
  7. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Brush the outer 1-inch border of the pastry with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  9. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the pastry is golden brown.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
