    Puff pastry is such a hero in the kitchen.  It allows you to go from basic to fancy quickly.  You can use it for savory dishes and desserts.  It's a beautiful vessel for so much, including the summer's best tomatoes and asparagus.  You can use jarred pesto, but I highly suggest making The Whole Revolution Asparagus Pesto because homemade is always best.

    Karolina Longoria
    A way to honor the summer's best produce, asparagus, and tomatoes on crispy puff pastry. A great appetizer or meal when served with a side salad.

    Equipment

    • 1 Oven

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 package Puff Pastry
    • 2 cups Asparagus Pesto
    • 2 large Heirloom or Beefsteak Tomatoes ¼ inch thick slices
    • ¼ Gruyère shredded (remove for vegan)
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flake optional‍

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 425˚, or an air fryer to 400˚
    • Defrost puff pastry according to package directions. Roll out puff pastry to barely overlap a full sheet pan (26.5 by 18.5 inches) or split the dough in half and use two half sheet pans, rolling out dough to barely overlap pans (18.5 by 13.5 inches).
    • Cut along the edges of the sheet of dough to create a separation from the flat bottom and the sides. Lightly pierce the dough with the tines of a fork. Spread the pesto over the bottom, and lay tomato slices with at least 1 inch of space between tomatoes. Season the tops of the tomatoes with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.  Place in oven for 20-30 minutes, until the dough has browned and edges are crispy. Let cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
    • Serve as an appetizer or with a side salad for a perfect meal.‍
