Asparagus Gruyere Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients

flour, for rolling out pastry
1 sheet frozen puff pastry
5 1/2 ounces gruyere cheese, shredded (2 cups) or 5 1/2 ounces swiss cheese
thick asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and black pepper

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0. Roll the pastry into a 16-by-10 inch rectangle and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Lightly score the dough with a knife 1-inch from the edges to form a rectangular outer edge. With a fork, pierce the dough inside the edge at half-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.
Remove the pastry from the oven to scatter the cheese on top. Alternate the asparagus tip to end in a single layer on the cheese.
Brush with oil and season to taste. Bake until asparagus is tender, which will take about 20 to 25 minutes.
