Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 2 tbsp Borsari Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 2 tsp Borsari Citrus Seasoning
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• ½ cup shredded Parmesan or Gruyère cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Heat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

3. Cut the Puff Pastry: Roll out puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 6 equal rectangles.
4. Assemble the Bundles: Place 3 to 4 asparagus spears in the center of each rectangle. Sprinkle with cheese if desired. Fold pastry over the asparagus, sealing edges gently.
5. Brush with Egg Wash: Place bundles seam-side down on baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Pro Tips

• For extra crunch, sprinkle sesame seeds or everything bagel seasoning over the egg wash before baking.
• These bundles are best served fresh from the oven, but they can be reheated at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Swap Parmesan for Gruyère or goat cheese for a gourmet twist.
