Fresh Asparagus
What You Do
Preheat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, toss the asparagus with the olive oil, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
Unroll the puff pastry onto a floured surface. Then transfer to a baking sheet, floured side down. Score a line around the perimeter of the puff pastry to create a border. Be careful not to cut too deep. Poke holes all over the puff pastry, within the border.
Gently spread the cream cheese onto the puff pastry. Then top with the shredded cheddar, bacon, and asparagus.
Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the tart and golden brown and firm.
