Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss 8 oz asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces), 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced), and 1 large leek (thinly sliced) with 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp butter until coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes, stirring once halfway, until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: On a lightly floured surface, roll thawed 14 oz puff pastry to a 12x16-inch rectangle. Place roasted vegetables in center, then sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded Gruyère cheese over them.
  5. Step 5: Fold pastry edges over filling, pleating as you go, and brush folded edges with egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 tbsp water).
  6. Step 6: Cut 3-4 small slits in pastry top for venting and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed.
  7. Step 7: Rest 5 minutes before slicing.
