Equipment

Ingredients

1 puff pastry store-bought
1 Boursin wheel 5.3 ounces, left out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
¾ cup shredded mozzarella or gruyère more or less to taste
1 teaspoon oil
1 bunch skinny asparagus washed and trimmed
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 egg well beaten with a splash of water
chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Before starting this recipe, remove the Boursin from the fridge and place on counter so it can soften for easier spreading.
Also check the puff pastry instructions to make sure it's ready to use, defrosted if frozen and pliable.
Preheat oven at 400° Fahrenheit.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (optional: sprinkle a little all-purpose flour on top). Roll out the puff pastry gently with a rolling pin if you wish. Poke a few holes throughout the dough with a fork, then score a line all around about 1 inch away from the edge (not too deep so it doesn't cut thru the dough).
Toss the trimmed asparagus with oil, salt and pepper until well coated.
Spread the Boursin gently on the tart (you can use the back of a spoon, spatula or your hands) inside the scored rectangle.
Sprinkle a bit of the shredded cheese.
Place the asparagus on top (you can rotate the asparagus every other one).
Sprinkle a little more shredded cheese on top.
Then brush the edge generously with the beaten egg.
Bake tart in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh chives and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Boursin: I used the original Garlic and Herbs but you can use an other flavor if you prefer.
