On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry into a 16-by-10-inch rectangle. Trim uneven edges. Place pastry on a baking sheet. With a sharp knife, lightly score pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges to mark a rectangle. Using a fork, pierce dough inside the markings at 1\/2-inch intervals. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Step 2<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Remove pastry shell from oven, and sprinkle with Gruyere. Trim the bottoms of the asparagus spears to fit crosswise inside the tart shell; arrange in a single layer over Gruyere, alternating ends and tips. Brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Bake until spears are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cook&#8217;s Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Store-bought puff pastry works well in this savory tart; thaw it according to package instructions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10361\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10361\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10361 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BloodOrange-Margarita-selfie-600x800.jpeg\" alt=\"Springtime cocktail\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BloodOrange-Margarita-selfie-600x800.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BloodOrange-Margarita-selfie-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.adventuresofemptynesters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/BloodOrange-Margarita-selfie.jpeg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/800;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Springtime Cocktail &#8211; Cheers to you!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Looking for another unique treat with exotic fruit?
