Ingredients

  • 1 box puff pastry two puff pastry sheets
  • 1 small wheel Camembert cheese
  • 24 Asparagus spear tips
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Thaw two sheets of puff pastry. Then cut the pastry into 12 equal squares. Also whisk an egg in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Wash and dry the asparagus spears. Then either cut off the tips and save. To save on some moolah you can use the whole spear cut into 1 inch sections, but I like the asparagus tips. What can I say, they are delicious!
  • To form, spread out 1 square of puff pastry on a cookie sheet.
  • Then coat the edges of the square with a light coating of the egg wash.
  • The place a cube of Camembert cheese and a piece of asparagus on each square.
  • Fold over the puff pastry and then using a fork, press the edges together to form a tight seal.
  • Repeat for the remaining squares.
  • Then using the remaining egg wash, coat the top of the pastry squares. The egg wash will give them a rich golden color when they are done.
  • Place the pans in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is puffy and golden brown.
  • Remove and let cool for a couple minutes before eating. This is an important step as the filling is like molten lava right out of the oven. No joke. Molten lava.
  • Plate the puffs and serve with a nice honey mustard.
