Ingredients for Asparagus With Prosciutto

  • 4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • Frozen Puff Pastry
  • 1 large egg, beaten

How to Make Asparagus With Prosciutto

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise. Wrap one half-slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear.
  3. Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal squares. Lay one asparagus and prosciutto spear diagonally on each pastry square.
  4. Fold the pastry over the asparagus to form an open-ended parcel. Gently press the edges to seal.
  5. Lightly brush the parcels with the beaten egg.
  6. Arrange the parcels on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the asparagus is tender.
  8. Serve immediately with sweet chili sauce on the side.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
