Ingredients
  • 4 ounces goat cheese (chevre)
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus (about 1 dozen spears - mine were pretty thick)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground, if possible)
  • 1 piece puff pastry dough, thawed
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Roll out puff pastry on a floured surface according to the directions on the package. You should end up with a misshapen rectangle.
  2. Once the pastry is rolled out, transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Crumble goat cheese over the surface of the pastry, leaving a 1½ inch rim (like you would a pizza for the crust). Top the goat cheese with asparagus and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. and top with , onions, cheese and herb mixture over the dough, leaving a 1½-inch border.
  3. Fold the border over the asparagus/cheese mixture, rolling the edges as needed to make the dough fit snugly over the vegetables. The center of the pastry will be open. Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until dough has turned golden-brown and cheese is melted.
  4. Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as an appetizer. Recommended serving: pair with a big green salad and a glass of crisp white wine, such as Southern Right Sauvignon Blanc or even a light glass of champagne.
