Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces asparagus spears
- 1 package crescent roll dough
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons shredded Gruyere cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Trim the tough ends from the 8 asparagus spears and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender. Drain and pat dry.
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a clean surface and separate it into 8 individual triangles.
In a small bowl, mix 4 tablespoons of cream cheese with 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 0.25 teaspoons of salt, and 0.25 teaspoons of pepper until smooth.
Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle of dough, leaving some space around the edges.
Place 1 blanched asparagus spear on the wide end of each triangle. Sprinkle 0.5 tablespoons of shredded Gruyere cheese over the asparagus.
Roll each piece of dough around the asparagus starting from the wide end and gently press the edges to seal.
Place the rolled croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash lightly over the tops of the croissants for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the croissants are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your savory asparagus croissants while warm!
