Ingredients

Pastry Bundle

1 sheet puff pastry thawed according to package directions
9 slices prosciutto
1 wheel brie cut into ¼ inch thick slices
1 bunch fresh asparagus

Egg Wash

1 large egg
1 Tablespoon water

Instructions

Egg Wash

In a small bowl, whisk together egg and water until smooth. Set aside.

Pastry Bundles

Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
Heat oven to 425°F.
Cut pastry into 9 equal squares.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each square to 1/16 inch thickness.
Top each square with 1 slice prosciutto.
Place 1 slice of brie and 4-6 asparagus spears at an angle on top of prosciutto.
Fold top right corner of pastry over asparagus.
Fold bottom left corner over bundle and tuck under.
Use a small pastry brush to brush egg wash over all exposed pastry.
Place in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Notes

Substitutions:

Camembert Cheese can be used instead of brie.
If you do not have prosciutto, you can use bacon.

Expert Tips:

Make sure to use thin asparagus spears! If they're thick, they will not cook properly.
The puff pastry needs to be rolled out on a lightly floured surface.
You can cut the rind off of the brie, if desired.
If the puff pastry isn't wanting to stick to itself, you can use a small amount of the egg wash to help stick it together.
Don't skip the freezing period! The pastry will be too warm to bake immediately and it needs to be cold to puff properly.
This recipe needs to be served warm, right out of the oven. This way, the brie is still melty and everything is warm and delicious!
