Ingredients
  

  • 2 leeks, white, and light green parts only chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 bunch asparagus cut in half
  • 3 Tbsps unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp Thyme
  • 2 Tbsps Gruyere shredded
  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400° and line a baking sheet with foil. Slice your asparagus from top to bottom, and line them up on the pan, cut side done. Drizzle with oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes in the oven.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add your chopped leeks, and thyme. Salt to taste. Cook 10 - 15 minutes, or until leeks are soft. Stir and remove from heat.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unfold your thawed puff pastry on the pan. Very carefully poke holes in the dough using a fork. Be careful not to poke all the way through. Cook in oven until light golden brown, 10 - 12 minutes.
  • Take puffed up dough out of the oven, and carefully push air out of the holes using the back of a fork. Keep pressing until flat, leaving a puffed up crust.
  • Cover dough in leeks, line up your roasted asparagus, and cover with the shredded gruyere. Place back in oven to finish dough, and melt cheese. About 10 minutes.
  • Cut with a pizza cutter, and serve immediately.
