Ingredients (serves 4–6)

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• 4 oz fresh goat cheese

• ½ cup crème fraîche or ricotta

• 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• Flaky sea salt & freshly cracked pepper

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Roll out puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Score a 1-inch border around the edges.

3. Mix goat cheese with crème fraîche; spread evenly inside the border.

4. Arrange asparagus on top, drizzle with olive oil, and season.

5. Bake 20–25 minutes until pastry is golden and asparagus is tender.

Notes

• Sourcing: Use fresh, local asparagus at peak season. A farmers market goat cheese will bring added depth and tang.

Suggested Pairing

2021 Suzanne’s Block Chardonnay — A tribute to spring’s arrival. The creamy tang of goat cheese and the green snap of asparagus draw out the wine’s stony minerality and round texture.
