Step 2

On a lightly floured work surface, unfold the puff pastry and roll out into a 9x13 inch rectangle.

Step 4469 Shot
Step 3

Use a paring knife to score a 1-inch border around the puff pastry. Use a fork to lightly poke holes all over the inside of the border, docking the puff pastry.

Step 4470 Shot
Step 4

Bake the puff pastry for 10 minutes. The resulting puff pastry will be puffy in the center. Use the fork to lightly press the steam out of the center, leaving a puffed crust and a flat center.

Step 4471 Shot
Step 5

Prepare the asparagus by trimming the tough ends, about 1½ - 2 inches. Set the asparagus aside.

Step 4472 Shot
Step 6

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, grated gruyere and finely chopped shallot.

Step 4473 Shot
Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the center of the crust. Place the asparagus in a single layer, alternating the ends and tips.

Step 4474 Shot
Step 8

Lightly drizzle the asparagus with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 4475 Shot
Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to lightly brush the puffed crust with the egg wash. Bake the asparagus tart for 10-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and the puff pastry is golden brown.

Step 4476 Shot
Step 10

Sprinkle the top of the asparagus tart with Parmesan cheese. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
