Servings 18 slices
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Asparagus about 24 spears - washed and ends chopped
- 2 medium Onions sliced thin
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 pkg Puff Pastry 2 sheets
- 1/2 cup Chives chopped
- 1/4 Red Onion (optional) sliced thin
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- pinch Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Preheat oven to 350 F once pastry has thawed.
- Fill medium pot halfway with water and bring to a boil of high heat. Meanwhile, saute onions over medium heat with 2 tbsp butter until translucent (approx 5 min).
- Once water has come to a boil drop in asparagus and blanch by cooking for 5 minutes and removing immediately to an ice bath (or run under cold water).
- Gently press together the two sheets of pastry on a parchment lined baking sheet and assemble the tart by placing asparagus, onions, half of chives, garlic powder, salt and pepper, making sure to leave about 1/2" around the edges. **See photos below for how we assemble ours so every bite is loaded with toppings**
- Roll and press the edges to create a small crust for the tart. Place in oven and cook for 20-22 minutes, until tart has puffed and is lightly golden.
- Remove and top with remainder of the chives and sliced red onion. Finish with a light drizzle of olive oil and slice.
