- Using a mortar and pistol, mash the garlic with salt until it makes a paste
- Add in the 1 tbsp of olive oil to the garlic

- Sprinkle the goat cheese and parmesan cheese on top of the garlic spread
- Trim the asparagus spears to fit inside the puff pastry sheet
- Place the asparagus in a single layer over the cheese and drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and sprinkle with course sea salt and pepper
- Fold the edges of the puff pastry over to create a frame around the asparagus
