Asparagus, Goat Cheese and Tomato Tart

This appetizer was so pretty and full of flavor.  I am looking forward to making this again! This recipe uses a puff party and if you have ever bought a box of puff pastry you get two sheets in the box so stay tuned tomorrow for another simple recipe to use up that pastry!

INGREDIENTS
3 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 large onion thinly sliced
1 sheet of puff pastry thawed
flour for dusting
1 bunch of asparagus
2 small handfuls of cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/4 cup or so of goat cheese
one pinch of sea salt
1/2 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat, add the onion and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low and continue to cook the onions for ten more minutes and remove from the heat.
Dust a clean work surface with some flour and open your thawed puff pastry and roll the dough out to 9 x 11. Place the dough on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray. Top the dough with the onions, tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese. Sprinkle the entire tart with a pinch of sea salt. Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes watching the last few minutes as to not burn the pastry. Just before the tart is done drizzle with the balsamic vinegar.  Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.

Enjoy,
