ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper
  • 7 oz goat cheese room temperature
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 to 5 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
  • Sliced almonds

instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
  • On a floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 10x16" rectangle. Place on
  • baking sheet and prick all over with a fork. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until light golden brown.
  • While puff pastry is baking, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook for approximately 2 to 5 minutes, until bright green and just tender. Drain and add immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  • Remove asparagus from water and pat dry with paper towels. Add asparagus to a medium bowl and toss with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Stir together goat cheese and lemon juice in a bowl until it turns into a soft spread. Once the pastry is done pre-baking, spread an even layer of the mixture on the pastry. Line asparagus spears on top in an even layer.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven. Top with sliced prosciutto and sliced almonds. Serve immediately.
