Ingredients
1
nine inch pie crust
4
tablespoons
olive oil
divided
1
tablespoon
garlic paste
3
oz
fontina cheese
shredded
½
pound
trimmed asparagus
Kosher salt to taste
2
oz
goat cheese
chevre
Black pepper to taste
1-2
tablespoons
parmigiano reggiano
shredded
Instructions
Take the pie dough out to warm up for about 15 minutes. This will make it easier to handle, but not too soft.
While the dough is warming up, preheat the oven to 400 F.
Line a sheet tray with either a silicone mat or parchment paper.
Roll out the pie crust in the center of the silicone mat and spread about 1 ½ tablespoon olive oil and the garlic paste evenly over the crust.
Shred the fontina and place evenly across the crust, leaving about 1 inch uncovered around the edges.
Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and discard. Toss the asparagus in the rest of the olive oil and season with kosher salt to taste.
In the center of the pie crust add the asparagus in a single layer. Be sure to leave room around the edges so you can fold the crust.
Crumble the fresh goat cheese and top the asparagus. Be sure to leave the 1 inch around the edges uncovered. Top with black pepper to taste.
Fold up the edges around the cheese and asparagus leaving most of the asparagus exposed to caramelize.
Place in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the asparagus is fork tender.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle parmigiano reggiano over it.
Allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes and then cut and serve.
Notes
Store bought pie crust is what I use but if you have homemade it would be even better
