Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • bowl
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry rectangular
  • 25 spears green asparagus
  • 120 g fresh goat's cheese
  • 75 g sour cream or yogurt (crème fraîche)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 unit lemon zest
  • 1 unit egg yolk for gilding
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 356°F (180°C).
  • Unroll the puff pastry on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Using the tip of a knife, delicately trace a 1 cm border around the edge of the pastry, without going through it, to create a puffed edge when baked.
  • In a bowl, mash the fresh goat's cheese with the sour cream (crème fraîche) (or yoghurt). Season with salt, pepper and a little lemon zest. Blend until smooth.
  • Spread this mixture over the bottom of the pastry, avoiding the edge.
  • Cut off the hard ends of the asparagus. Arrange on top of the goat's cheese cream. Drizzle with olive oil.
  • In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk with a few drops of water. Brush the edge of the pastry with this mixture to brown it.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and the asparagus is tender.
  • When removed from the oven, sprinkle with a little fresh thyme and lemon zest for freshness.
