WHAT'S PUFF PASTRY?

Puff Pastry is a dough product of flour, water, salt and butter.  when baked, it effects in a mild, flaky pastry, and can be used for sweet or savory recipes.  it's far bought pre-made in the frozen foods segment of the grocery save, typically near the frozen pie crusts.

WHAT CAN I USE IN PREFERENCE TO PUFF PASTRY?

Even though puff pastry is my desired factor for those puff pastry bundles, you may alternative crescent roll dough in a pinch.  I do think that puff pastry has a higher flavor and texture, however.  I do not suggest substituting phyllo dough.  Phyllo dough is a great deal greater flaky and doesn’t have the right texture for this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 bunch asparagus (about 12-16 oz) ends trimmed
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• kosher salt
• pepper
• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
• 8 ounces Gruyere shredded
• 12 slices prosciutto
• 1 egg beaten

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 tiers F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll the puff pastry out to a huge rectangle about double the unique length. square off edges and cut into 6 squares. (i take advantage of a pizza cutter to do that).
3. Toss asparagus in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. To make the bundles, location slice of prosciutto on top of the rectangular.  I folded the prosciutto in 1/2 in order that it match properly on the square.  observe with 3-four stalks of asparagus (relying on size) and 1-2 TBSP of cheese. 
5. Carry two contrary corners of the puff pastry squares and wrap them across the asparagus and press to seal. Brush puff pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle with greater salt and pepper if favored.
6. Bake until puff pastry is golden and puffed, approximately 12-15 mins. Serve without delay.
