Asparagus & Parmesan Cream Pastry
Kris - U-Bake

I would make one adjustment next time I make it this.   The pastry is very rich and I would use less cream cheese mixture by trying to use both puff pastry sheets that come in a package instead of just one.  This would require additional asparagus also. 

Asparagus & Parmesan Cream Pastry

 

1 - 8 ounce package Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons lemon juice
5 fresh basil leaves, chopped 
1 (or 2) sheets U-Bake frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 (or 1 1/2) pounds fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 (or 4) tablespoons U-Bake olive oil

Coat baking sheets with a light spray of nonstick cooking spray.  In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, grated Parmesan, lemon juice and basil.  Thaw puff pastry sheets and place one per baking sheet.  Cut each sheet into 6 rectangles spreading slightly apart on baking sheet.  Spread cream cheese mixture to within 1/2 inch of edges.  Trim asparagus spears to 1 1/2 inches shorter than pastry.  Press four spears in alternating directions across cream cheese mixture.  Drizzle with olive oil.  

Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Slice each pastry in half and serve.
