Looking for an elegant yet simple appetizer for your next occasion?
Try these tasty Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles made with roasted asparagus, salty prosciutto & creamy mozzarella wrapped in a light and flaky puff pastry
Let’s start by assembling the ingredients
You’ll need one sheet of defrosted puff pastry, 1 bunch of fresh asparagus, 8 thin slices of prosciutto, 8 slices of mozzarella, 1/2 teaspoon each of kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, 1 tablespoon each of sesame and poppy seeds. You’ll also need a beaten egg and some olive oil
Trim the woody stems from the asparagus and drizzle with olive oil, the kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder. Set aside
How long does asparagus last in the fridge?
Fresh raw asparagus lasts about 3 to 4 days in the fridge on its own. If you wrap in a damp paper towel before storing, you’ll get another 2 to 3 days
In my opinion, the best way to store fresh asparagus in your fridge is in a small bowl or jar of water. That’s how they display it at the supermarket, right? It will last anywhere from 8-10 days when you use this method
Dust your work space with flour and roll out the puff pastry dough into a large rectangle
Cut into 8 squares. They won’t be perfectly even, but that’s ok. Once they bake, they’ll all look uniform. Or at least uniform “enough” 
On each square, place a slice of prosciutto folded in half, slice of mozzarella and 2-3 asparagus spears
Fold in one of the corners and brush with the egg wash. Fold the other corner and press lightly so the corners stick together
Repeat, repeat, repeat and place on a sheet pan with parchment that has been sprayed with cooking oil
Once they’re all wrapped into bundles, brush each one with the remaining egg wash. Sprinkle with the sesame and poppy seeds
Bake at 400 degrees F for 12 minutes or until golden brown
You can serve these tasty little bundles as an appetizer or as a side to a main course
