Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles
These Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles wrap tender asparagus spears with prosciutto and shredded Gruyère cheese inside flaky puff pastry squares. The result is a golden, crisp pastry encasing a savory filling with creamy melted cheese and salty ham that complements the fresh vegetable. Baked until puffed and lightly browned, these bundles make elegant appetizers or side dishes.

Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus ends trimmed, about 12-16 ounces
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 2 heets puff pastry thawed, frozen
- 8 ounces gruyere cheese shredded
- 12 lices prosciutto
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to a large rectangle about double the original size. Square off edges and cut into 6 squares. (I use a pizza cutter to do this).
- Toss asparagus in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- To make the bundles, place slice of prosciutto on top of the square. I folded the prosciutto in half so that it fit nicely on the square. Follow with 3-4 stalks of asparagus (depending on size) and 1-2 tablespoons of cheese.
- Lift two opposite corners of the puff pastry squares and wrap them around the asparagus and press to seal. Brush puff pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper if desired.
- Bake until puff pastry is golden and puffed, about 12-15 minutes. Serve immediately.
