Ingredients
Directions
- 1
Prepare the asparagus by trimming off the woody ends (about 5 cm / 2 inches). If the asparagus is mature, peel the lower part of the stalks.
- 2
Cook the asparagus in salted boiling water for 1.5–2 minutes, then immediately transfer it to ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- 3
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a border. Brush the pastry with beaten egg and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes, or until golden.
- 4
Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with finely chopped dill and minced garlic.
- 5
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the center of the baked pastry, leaving the borders uncovered.
- 6
Arrange the bacon and asparagus on top.
- 7
Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes.
- 8
Finish with freshly grated Parmesan.
