Ingredients

• 12 whole asparagus spears
• 1 sheet puff pastry sheets
• 6 slices cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 whole egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears and season them lightly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a floured surface and cut it into 12 equal strips, roughly 1-inch wide.

Step 4

Halve each slice of cheddar cheese to create 12 smaller pieces. Wrap a piece of cheese around the middle of each asparagus spear.

Step 5

Wrap a strip of puff pastry around each asparagus spear, starting from the bottom and spiraling up to secure the cheese inside.

Step 6

Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side down.

Step 7

Melt the unsalted butter in a small bowl and mix in the garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the pastry-wrapped asparagus.

Step 8

In another small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash, then lightly brush it over each puff pastry.

Step 9

Sprinkle the parmesan cheese generously over the wrapped asparagus for extra flavor.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy, cheesy Wrapped Asparagus Cheese!
