    Directions

    1. 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. 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. 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. 4

      Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese with finely chopped dill and minced garlic.

    5. 5

      Spread the cream cheese mixture over the center of the baked pastry, leaving the borders uncovered.

    6. 6

      Arrange the bacon and asparagus on top.

    7. 7

      Return to the oven for another 5–7 minutes.

    8. 8

      Finish with freshly grated Parmesan.
