Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed but chilled
- 16 oz. thin asparagus spears
- 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 16 oz. various mushrooms roughly chopped
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 6 oz. Cabot Monterey Jack cheese shredded, ~1½ cups
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper; set pan aside.
- Snap the woody ends off of the asparagus spears (or trim them with a knife); set asparagus aside.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll the pastry sheet into a 10”x14” rectangle.
- Transfer puff pastry to prepared pan.
- Using a sharp knife, lightly score a 1” border around the edges of the puff pastry sheet. (Note: Do not cut all the way through the puff pastry.)
- Using a fork, dock the center of the puff pastry every ½” to prevent pastry from puffing up in oven.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, using a large skillet, add 2 Tbsp of olive oil and butter; place over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes, or until mushrooms are tender.
- Add garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined.
- Continue sauteing for 1-2 more minutes, stirring often.
- Remove skillet from heat and set aside.
- Remove puff pastry from oven and gently press down any puffed-up areas in center.
- Sprinkle ~ ¾ of the shredded cheese on top.
- Spread mushrooms and asparagus tips evenly on top of puff pastry. Brush remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil on top.
- Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
- Bake tart for 15 more minutes, or until cheese has melted and edges of tart are golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before cutting into squares for serving.
