Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the defrosted puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Score the pastry edges about 1 inch in and pierce the center with a fork. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and spread with honey Dijon mustard (or regular Dijon). Top with Gruyere cheese.
Arrange asparagus over the cheese, alternating ends and tips. Add peas if desired. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the asparagus is tender.
Let cool slightly before adding toppings like lemon zest and balsamic glaze. Serve warm.

Notes

Cheese Options: If you don’t have Gruyere, fontina or mozzarella can be used as alternatives.
Herb Flavor: Add fresh thyme or rosemary to enhance the earthy flavors.
Extra Veggies: Incorporate mushrooms, spinach, or roasted tomatoes for extra depth.
Puff Pastry Variations: Use two sheets of puff pastry for a larger tart.
