Ingredients

• 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
• 12 pieces Asparagus spears
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to remove any creases. Cut the sheet into 4 equal rectangles.

Step 3

Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears by gently bending them until they break at their natural point.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 5

Brush the edges of each puff pastry rectangle with the egg wash.

Step 6

Place 3 asparagus spears diagonally across each rectangle of puff pastry.

Step 7

Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil, and sprinkle evenly with salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Fold the opposite corners of each pastry rectangle towards the center, overlapping slightly and pressing to seal.

Step 9

Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 10

Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a glossy finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is puffy and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
