- Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 16 ozs Asparagus (rinsed and trimmed)
- 1 sheet frozen Puff pastry (thawed)
- 1 egg (beaten)
- garlic powder
- 1 ¾ cups Gruyere (thinly sliced)
- 10 slices Prosciutto (sliced in half lengthwise)
- 4 sprigs fresh parsley
- Hollandaise sauce for drizzling (optional)
Preparation steps
1.
In a large skillet, bring water to a rapid boil. Add asparagus; cover and cook for about 3 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice cold water to stop the cooking process; drain and pat dry. Set aside.
2.
Preheat oven to 400º F.
3.
Unfold thawed pastry sheet on a lightly floured work surface. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife cut the pastry into 4 equally-sized rectangles. Place on the rectangles on a baking sheet. Brush the pastry lightly with egg wash and sprinkle to taste with garlic powder.
4.
Wrap a thin slice of cheese, followed by a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear and divide the asparagus between the puff pastry.
5.
Garnish and a parsley sprig and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown. Divide between plates and drizzle with Hollandaise sauce if desired. Serve.
