Asparagus, Herb and Goat Cheese Puff Pastry image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces fresh goat cheese
1/2 cup ricotta
3 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill fronds
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, grated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound thick-stem asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
One 8-ounce sheet puff pastry, thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the goat cheese, ricotta and 2 eggs to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the mixture is evenly combined. Next, add the Parmesan, parsley, chives, dill, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse once again to combine all the ingredients. The mixture may look slightly liquidy, but once it bakes the egg will help stabilize the cheese mixture. Set aside.
  • On a separate rimmed baking sheet, toss the asparagus with the olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured work space and dust a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the puff pastry out to a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. Add the goat cheese-herb mixture to the puff pastry and spread it out into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around the puff pastry. Nestle in the asparagus into the cheese mixture, alternating directions.
  • To make the egg wash, whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the exposed crust all the way around the edges.
  • Transfer the tart to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese mixture is set, 25 to 30 minutes

Asparagus Parmesan Pastry Rolls image

Categories     Cheese     Vegetable     Bake     Cocktail Party     Vegetarian     Parmesan     Asparagus     Spring     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 96 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water
5 ounce finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1 3/4 cups packed)
28 (3/4-inch-thick) asparagus (2 pounds), stalks trimmed to 6-inch lengths and tips reserved if desired
3 tablespoons white or black truffle oil (1 1/2 ounces; optional)

Steps:

  • Unfold pastry sheets and halve each parallel to fold lines. Roll out 1 half (keep remaining 3 halves chilled, covered with plastic wrap) into a 20- by 7-inch rectangle with a floured rolling pin on a well-floured surface. (Pastry will shrink slightly after rolling.) Brush off excess flour from work surface and both sides of pastry, then trim all edges with a sharp knife to make even. Cut crosswise into 6 (6 1/2- by 3-inch) rectangles.
  • Brush rectangles with some egg wash and sprinkle each evenly with 1 packed tablespoon cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border on long sides. Lay an asparagus stalk along 1 long side, then roll up asparagus in pastry, pressing seam to seal. Make more rolls with remaining pastry, cheese, and asparagus.
  • Arrange rolls, seam sides down, about 1 inch apart on lightly oiled baking sheets and brush top and sides lightly with egg wash. Chill rolls until pastry is firm, at least 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake rolls in batches in middle of oven until puffed and golden, about 16 minutes.
  • Transfer with a metal spatula to a cutting board and trim about 1/2 inch from ends. Halve each roll crosswise, then, starting about 1/2 inch from either end, cut each section diagonally in half (see photo, opposite). Stand asparagus rolls on end, 2 by 2 on platters, and drizzle each with 1 drop of truffle oil (if using). Serve warm.

Tips for Making Asparagus Pastry Puffs

  • Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the asparagus spears into 2-inch pieces.
  • Use a food processor to pulse the cheese and nuts until they are finely chopped.
  • Brush the pastry dough with melted butter before adding the filling.
  • Bake the pastry puffs at a high temperature for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.

Conclusion
