Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 8 ounces Gruyere cheese shredded
  • 12 slices prosciutto
  • 1 egg beaten

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets to double their original size, square off the edges, and cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.
  3. Toss the trimmed asparagus spears in olive oil and season lightly with kosher salt and pepper.
  4. To assemble, place a slice of prosciutto on each pastry square, top with 3-4 asparagus stalks and 1-2 tablespoons of shredded Gruyere cheese.
  5. Lift two opposite corners of the puff pastry squares, wrap them around the asparagus filling, and press firmly to seal the bundle.
  6. Brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed, then serve immediately.

Notes

These are best served fresh, but can be reheated in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes, or until warm.
