Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 12 spears asparagus spears
- 100 grams blue cheese
- 50 grams cream cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a pot of water to a boil, and blanch the asparagus by boiling it for 1-2 minutes until bright green but still slightly crisp. Drain and immediately transfer the asparagus to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
Lightly flour a clean work surface, and roll out the puff pastry sheets to smooth out any creases. Cut each sheet into 6 equal rectangles, yielding a total of 12 rectangles.
In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese and cream cheese until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.
Spoon a dollop of the cheese mixture (about 1 teaspoon) onto one of the short edges of each puff pastry rectangle. Place one blanched asparagus spear on top of the cheese mixture.
Roll each pastry rectangle around the asparagus spear, starting from the cheese-topped edge and rolling toward the opposite side. Place the rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops and sides of the rollups to help them turn golden brown as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.
Remove the rollups from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
