Preparation method

How do you make this?
  1. Preparing the filling: 
  2. Mix the cream, eggs, 100 g pecorino and salt in a tall measuring cup until smooth.
  3. Preparing asparagus: 
  4. Peel the asparagus and cut off the hard bottom.
  5. Cut the asparagus tips to about 3 cm and set aside.
  6. Cut the rest of the asparagus into small pieces and divide them over the puff pastry pies.
  7. Filling and baking pies: 
  8. Carefully cut the lids from the pies.
  9. Pour the egg-cream mixture into the patties, just to the top.
  10. Bake the pies in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Check the doneness with a skewer: if it comes out dry, they are done.
  11. Roasting asparagus tips: 
  12. Sprinkle the asparagus tips with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  13. Add them to the oven for the last 10 minutes to lightly toast them.
  14. Serve: 
  15. Mix the whipped cream with the smoked paprika powder.
  16. Divide a spoonful of this mixture over the plates.
  17. Place the warm pies on top and garnish with a sprig of dill and an edible flower.

Tips

  • You can prepare the pies a day in advance. Heat them in the oven at 160°C for 10 minutes.
  • Do you want an extra intensegoat and pepper-taste? Add an extra pinch of black pepper just before serving.
  • Serve them with a fresh spring salad to complete the dish.
