Description

Flaky golden puff pastry wrapped around tender asparagus, salty prosciutto, and melty cheese—an elegant and effortless appetizer or brunch delight.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 12 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or gruyère cheese
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray or melted butter (optional for brushing)
  • Fresh thyme or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 equal rectangles.
  3. On each rectangle, layer one slice of prosciutto, 2 asparagus spears, and a generous sprinkle of cheese.
  4. Fold opposite corners of each pastry rectangle over the filling to meet in the center and gently press to seal.
  5. Brush with beaten egg, season with salt and pepper, and optionally sprinkle with fresh herbs.
  6. Bake for 18–20 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
  7. Serve warm as a savory starter or brunch pastry.

Notes

  • Gruyère cheese adds a nuttier flavor compared to mozzarella.
  • To make it vegetarian, skip the prosciutto and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
  • Can be prepped ahead and baked just before serving.
