Ingredients

• 1 10x15-inch puff pastry sheet , thawed if frozen
• 1/2 cup soft goat cheese
• 15 to 20 asparagus spears , trimmed
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons dill , chopped
• freshly ground black pepper , to taste
• olive oil

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour. Lay out puff pastry sheet and roll lightly with rolling pin. Fold each edge of the pastry over to form a border around the edges. Crimp the edges of the puff pastry with a fork and poke pastry sheet through in many spots so that the steam will come out when baking and to prevent it from puffing too much.
• In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook asparagus 2 to 3 minutes or until tender-crisp. Rinse under cold water and spread on paper towel to dry. Cut the spears of asparagus so that they fit across the length of the puff pastry.
• Carefully spread goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry and arrange the asparagus on top of the cheese, stacking to fit, if needed. Sprinkle with Parmesan and dill.
• Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is lightly golden. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and a light drizzle of olive oil, if desired. Cut into squares and serve. Enjoy!
