Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet  puff pastry thawed
  • 1 cup  ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup  grated parmesan plus more for topping
  • 2 cloves  garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon  lemon zest
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound  asparagus trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon  olive oil
  • 1 egg for the egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Unroll the pastry and score a 1-inch border without cutting through.
  2. Mix the ricotta, half the parmesan, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Spread inside the scored border.
  3. Arrange the asparagus spears over the ricotta. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Brush the border with egg wash and sprinkle the remaining parmesan over the asparagus.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and puffed. Cool a few minutes before slicing and serve with lemon.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the crust crisp. Not recommended for freezing.
