Baking Tips

For extra crispiness, pre-bake the puff pastry for 5 minutes before adding toppings.

Use white asparagus for a milder flavor variation.

Replace Gruyère with Fontina or aged cheddar for a different cheese profile.

Add thinly sliced prosciutto before baking for a savory touch.

For a tangy twist, spread a thin layer of goat cheese under the Gruyère mixture.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking sheet.

Score a 1/2-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Brush the entire surface (except the border) with Dijon mustard.

In a bowl, mix Gruyère, Parmesan, heavy cream, thyme, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the mustard layer.

Toss asparagus with olive oil, sea salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest.

Arrange the asparagus spears in a single layer over the cheese mixture.

Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
