Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • ¾ cup mozzarella grated
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • ½ tbsp milk
  • 1 225 g puff pastry (butter)

Instructions

  • Steam asparagus until just tender. Approximately 3-4 minutes. Chill in cold water and dry.
  • On a greased pan (or lined with parchment paper), unroll 1 sheet (225g) of puff pastry. Brush pastry with mustard leaving 1" around the perimeter.
    Arrange the asparagus, alternating end to end on the mustard/dough.
  • Spread mozzarella and pepper evenly over the asparagus. 
  • Beat egg with the milk and brush on the 1" perimeter of the pastry.
  • Convection bake at 350℉, or normal bake at 375℉ for approx. 15-20 minutes. Pastry should be puffed, golden brown and cheese melted.

Notes

Smoked cheddar would be an excellent substitute for the mozzarella
