Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry until it’s about double in size.
Cut the rolled pastry into 6 equal squares.
Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil, seasoning it generously with salt and pepper.

Assembly

For each square, lay down a slice of prosciutto and top it with 3-4 asparagus spears.
Sprinkle a tablespoon or two of shredded Gruyère on top.
Lift two opposite corners of each square and wrap them around the asparagus, pinching to seal.
Brush the pastry with the beaten egg and sprinkle more salt and pepper on top if desired.

Cooking

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Serve immediately, while they’re still warm and flaky.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes. For longer storage, freeze before baking and bake from frozen with additional time.
