Ham and Asparagus Bundles
Ingredients
- 2 small bunches asparagus
- 2 - 10 ”x10” puff pastry sheets
- 150 g Boursin garlic and herb cheese
- 175 g ham thinly sliced
- 1 egg
- Black pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim asparagus into 3” pieces.
- Roll out puff pastry onto a flat surface and then slice into 4 equal strips. Slice in half crosswise to make 8 strips. Repeat with the other sheet of puff pastry.
- Starting with one strip, lay a slice of ham in the centre, then dollop ½ tbsp Boursin in the middle of the ham. Lay 3-4 asparagus perpendicular to the pastry strip, and then roll tightly to close. Place on the baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining strips. Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush the egg lightly over the puff pastry and season with pepper. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.
