Ingredients

1 sheet of puff pastry

1 egg, beaten

118 g goat cheese, crumbled

2 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove

1 tbsp honey

1 lemon, zest & juice

6 asparagus spears

Balsamic glaze, for garnish

Microgreens, for garnish

Salt, to taste

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently roll the puff pastry out on the prepared baking sheet, smoothing out the folds and bumps. Lightly mark a 1-inch border with a knife and brush it with egg wash. Inside the border poke several small holes with a fork.

Step 2

Remove the woody ends of the asparagus and slice in half lengthwise.

Step 3

Make the whipped goat cheese. In the bowl of a food processor add soft goat cheese, olive oil, garlic, honey and lemon juice. Blend until all ingredients are well incorporated, 2-3 mins.

Step 4

Using a spoon spread the goat cheese inside the border of the puff pastry. Arrange the sliced asparagus, and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle about a teaspoon of lemon zest and season with salt to taste.

Step 5

Bake in the oven for 40 mins until the pastry is puffed and golden. Garnish with balsamic vinegar glaze and microgreens. Serve and enjoy!
