Only a few ingredients,
asparagus, prosciutto, cheese, mustard and puff pastry
Cut the puff pastry into 12 squares
Add a smear of mustard on the diagonal
Fold prosciutto and place it on top of the mustard
Now top with asparagus spears
I used 2 spears cut in half on each square
Top with a generous amount of grated cheese
Fill a small bowl with water to wet your finger tip
Bring one corner of dough up and over asparagus,
and wet the outside of the dough corner
Wet the opposite corner and bring it up and over
the first corner and press dough together
forming an open ended log
At this point you can cover and refrigerate for baking later if desired
Right before baking brush the dough with beaten egg
so it will have a glossy finish, if desired
Bake at 400 degrees for 12-15 minutes
When pastries are almost done, top with reserved cheese
and return to oven for several minutes to melt cheese
and dough is puffed and golden
I adapted this recipe from Plain Chicken and Fox and Briar
