Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Cigars

Makes 10 spears

What you'll need:

10 asparagus spears

Olive oil

1 package of puff pastry, thawed

10 slices of prosciutto (leave out prosciutto if plant-based)

1 lemon, zested

Salt & pepper

1 egg, beaten

Parmesan cheese, finely grated (leave out if plant-based)

Flour, for dusting

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Drizzle a bit of olive oil over 10 asparagus spears and set aside.

Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin or wine bottle so it’s approx 6”x10”. Sprinkle pastry with lemon zest & season with salt and pepper. Cut pastry into 10 thin strips.

Wrap each asparagus spear with 1 slice of prosciutto. Then wrap one piece of puff pastry in a spiral around the prosciutto wrapped asparagus & place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush puff pastry with beaten egg & sprinkle grated parmesan on top.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden & puffed. Best served warm.

Fare Thee Well!
