DIRECTIONS
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lightly roll out puff pastry on a floured surface. Score a ½-inch border around the edges (don’t cut through), and prick the center with a fork. Brush the edges with egg wash.
- Bake pastry for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. If it puffs too much in the center, press it down gently.
- Drain and pat dry the Reese asparagus to avoid excess moisture.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the par-baked pastry. Arrange asparagus spears on top. Drizzle with olive oil and season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add more cheese and green onions.
- Return to oven and bake 10–12 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden.
- Garnish with extra green onion. Slice and serve warm.
