prosciutto asparagus puff pastry recipe

Brie, Asparagus & Prosciutto in Puff Pastry

These elegant, crowd-pleasing appetizers combine flaky puff pastry with melty brie, tender asparagus, and salty prosciutto. Each bundle bakes up golden and crisp on the outside, with a rich, savory filling inside. To make them, cut the pastry into squares, brush lightly with butter and honey, then layer prosciutto, asparagus, and a piece of brie. Fold, seal, and bake until puffed and perfectly crisp. Finish with a little lemon zest, a squeeze of juice, black pepper, and fresh herbs to brighten everything up.

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 bunch pencil asparagus ends trimmed
  • 1 Tbsp EVOO
  • APF for surface
  • 2 sheets puff pastry thawed according to package directions
  • 12 slices prosciutto
  • 8 oz. wheel brie cut into 12 pieces
  • Egg wash
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Equipment

  • Aluminum Commercial Baker's Half Sheet

Method
 

  1. To prepare the oven, set the temperature to 400° and cover two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, honey, and salt together.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss asparagus in oil.
  3. Cut the puff pastry into 12 equal squares. To do this, first roll out each sheet of pastry on a surface dusted with flour until it forms a rectangle of 15 by 10 inches. Then cut each rectangle into 6 smaller squares.
  4. Turn the square pastry 45 degrees to make a diamond shape and coat it with the butter mixture. Put a prosciutto slice on top, tucking in the edges to fit inside the diamond. Add some asparagus pieces and a brie slice on top of the prosciutto. Fold the left side of the pastry over the filling and brush it with egg wash. Then fold the right side over and apply more egg wash on the top and sides of the pastry. Sprinkle some pepper on top. Transfer the pastry to a baking sheet and repeat the same steps with the remaining pastry.
  5. Bake until golden and brie is melted, about 15 minutes.
  6. Brush with more butter mixture before serving.
