Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie dough if preferred
- 24-36 stalks asparagus
- 6-9 slices prosciutto crudo (di parma)
- 12-18 thin slices provolone cheese or swiss, gruyere or fontina
- 2-3 dashes black pepper
- 1-2 pinches salt if needed (depends on the prosciutto)
EXTRAS
- 1-2 tablespoons milk for brushing (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375F / 190C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll the puff pastry and with a rolling pin gently roll a couple of times to even it out.
- Depending on how big the sheet is cut into 6-9 squares. I got 9 squares, my puff pastry sheet was 13x11 / 32x27cm approximately.
- Wrap 3-5 spears of asparagus with a slice of prosciutto and set aside.
- In the middle of each square place 1-2 thin slices of cheese.
- On top of the cheese place a prosciutto wrapped bundle, place another piece of cheese on top of the asparagus.
- Fold the puff pastry over the asparagus, wetting the ends to seal. Place the bundles on the prepared baking sheet. If you wish you can brush with a little milk and sprinkle with a dash of black pepper if desired. Bake approximately 15-20 minutes, in the pre-heated oven until golden brown. Serve immediately.
