Ingredients

  • 1 box puff pastry thawed
  • 1-2 lbs fresh asparagus washed and woody ends cut off. Dried on a paper towel
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1/4 lb good smokey deli ham
  • shaved Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Cut deli ham in half and shave Parmesan cheese into long strips. Cut each piece of puff pastry into thirds, along the fold lines.
  • Put the puff pastry horizontally on a work surface. Top with one half slice of deli ham. Top the deli ham with 2 strips of shaved Parmesan cheese. Top with a bundle of fresh asparagus.
  • Wrap both ends of the ham around the front of the asparagus. Wrap the puff pastry around the asparagus bundles.
  • At this point the bundles can be placed on a parchment lined baking sheet, covered tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerated up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to bake...
  • Scramble an egg to use as an egg wash to brush over the puff pastry. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
