Fontina Asparagus Tart
- 1 lb. fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1⁄2 lb. Fontina cheese, shredded, divided
- 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. grated lemon peel
- 1⁄4 tsp. salt
- 1⁄4 tsp. pepper
Instructions: In a large skillet, bring 1 inch of water to a boil; add asparagus. Cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or just until crisp-tender; drain. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into a 12 by 16 inch rectangle; transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of the cheese over pastry. Arrange asparagus on top; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Combine the lemon juice, oil, lemon peel, salt and pepper; sprinkle over top. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer or until asparagus is tender and cheese is melted. Slice and serve warm.
