Asparagus Cream Pastry


Great new & delicious appetizer!





1 8oz package Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

1 sheet Puff Pastry, thawed

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3 Tbs lemon juice

pinch of basil

1 lb fresh asparagus

Olive oil for drizzling


In small bowl combine cream cheese, parmesan, lemon juice and basil. Unfold puff pastry sheet on greased baking sheet. Cut into 6 rectangles. Spread cream cheese mixture on each pastry. Trim asparagus to be a bit shorter than pastry, alternating directions of spears, place 4-5 on each pastry. Drizzle with olive oil. Bake at 400 for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Sprinkle with shaved parmesan.


*I served this with Tomato & Basil soup.
