# Ingredients:
→ Pastry items
01 -
1 sheet cold puff pastry (about 8 oz)
02 -
8 slices gouda cheese
03 -
8 slices ham, cooked
04 -
16-24 fresh asparagus spears
05 -
4 oz herby cream cheese, softened
→ Egg wash
06 -
1 egg, whisked lightly
# Instructions:
01 -
Wash the asparagus and break off the tough ends. Warm up your oven to 425°F, making sure both heat elements are on.
02 -
Roll out your puff pastry on a tray that’s covered in parchment. Use a pizza cutter if you’ve got one, and slice it into 8 squares.
03 -
Take each pastry square and slather a bit of herbed cream cheese on top. Lay down a gouda slice, then a ham slice. Set 2 or 3 asparagus spears across corners.
04 -
Fold each square over to form a triangle, pushing down on the edges so it sticks. Brush with egg and pop ‘em in the oven for about 25 minutes until they’re puffed up and golden.
