Asparagus Tart Recipe by Chef George Duran, host of TLC’s “Ultimate Cake Off” and Food Network’s “Ham on the Street”.
Make it quick, make it delicious–but always make it with a healthy dose of creativity! George Duran, part comedian, part trained chef, is the star of Food Network’s Ham on the Street and The Secret Life Of.
He loves comfort foods with a twist, such as Deep-Fried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Banana Split Pancakes, BLT Hot Dogs, and Tex-Mex Lasagna.
Chef George Duran recommends using a cheese in this recipe that won’t overpower other flavors; choose a mild, nutty cheese like Jarlsberg, best known for its classic wedge but also available sliced.

Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 2 c Jarlsberg Cheese, shredded
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat oven to 400° F. Prepare baking sheet with parchment paper.
