Ingredients
20asparagus spears
1sheet of frozen puff pastry
1egg
salt and pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F/190ºC.
Lay the puff pastry out to thaw, once it has softened slightly cut it into ½ inch thick strips. I try to do this when it has only thawed slightly. This makes it much easier.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take an asparagus spear and snap or cut off the very woody end.
Wrap a strip of pastry around each asparagus spear.
Place on your lined tray and repeat with the remaining spears.
Break the egg into a small bowl and brush the pastry with a light coating of egg.
Sprinkle over some salt and pepper and bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is lightly golden.
Whilst the asparagus is cooking, prepare the dip. I like to use my hollandaise sauce. (Find my recipe here)
