How to Make Asparagus With Gorgonzola Cheese Wrapped In Puff Pastry

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
3. Unfold 1 sheet (14.1 oz) of frozen puff pastry and gently roll it out slightly on a lightly floured surface.
4. Crumble 4 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese. Evenly distribute the cheese over the puff pastry, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
5. Arrange the blanched asparagus spears lengthwise over the cheese.
6. Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the puff pastry into a log. Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices.
7. Place the pastry bites onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each.
8. Brush the top of each bite with 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon of water for a beautiful golden brown finish.
9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious bites warm!
