I
made this recipe twice last weekend – once for a Beauty and the Beast girls’
night (photos here) and then for my Grandma’s birthday dinner. This is now one of my go-to
easy appetizers. It looks super fancy but it’s actually very quick and easy to
make.
Puff Pastry Wrapped Asparagus (adapted
from Dash of
Savory)
Ingredients:

cleaned

- Toasted Sesame Seeds, for
garnish
Directions:
1. Preheat
oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, set aside.
2. Season
the trimmed asparagus with salt and pepper. Slice the puff pastry into 16 even
strands, about ½ inch wide.
3. Begin
wrapping the asparagus with the puff pastry with one side to the other. Line
the sheet pan evenly with the wrapped asparagus.
4. Brush
the egg wash onto the puff pastry and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 20
