Just in time for your Easter celebration, I’m sharing these delicious Puff Pastry Wrapped Asparagus Bundles. Along with the asparagus, tucked inside these puff pastry wrapped bundles are salty prosciutto and cheese. And why not add a sprinkle of Everything But the Bagel Seasoning? They are the perfect way to add a little fancy to your Easter menu plan.
These are pretty straightforward to put together – hardly a recipe and more of an idea really. Just thaw out a sheet of puff pastry to that it is still quite cold, but pliable. Cut it into nine squares and lay them out on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for easy cleanup. Lay half a slice of cheese diagonally on each square. You can use any mild cheese that melts nicely – I used muenster, but you could also use baby swiss or gruyere.
Wrap a bundle of three trimmed asparagus in a piece of prosciutto, and then bring the opposite corners of the puff pastry together and secure them with a toothpick. Brush the outside of the puff pastry with an egg wash, sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel Seasoning and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
Remove the toothpicks, and serve the bundles warm as an appetizer, or as a side for an Easter brunch. Be careful not add too much seasoning on top. I went a little overboard on some of mine and it was a bit too salty for my taste.
How to Buy Asparagus
When you are shopping for asparagus, try and find stalks that are on the thicker side. It gives the puff pastry more time to cook through without overcooking the asparagus. You’ll know the asparagus is fresh if the tips are tightly closed.

Ingredients
- 1 box of store bought puff pastry (2 sheets) thawed out
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 8 tsp sun dried tomato spread
- 1 egg white whisked
- 1 bunch of asparagus ends trimmed
- 3 oz goat cheese
- nonstick spray
- flaky salt
- herbs de provence
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F. Cut each puff pastry sheet into fours so that you have 8 squares total. Add about 1 tbsp of sun dried tomato paste to each square and smear it evenly in the middle of each square. Add a piece of prosciutto on top followed by a few stalks of asparagus. Crumble a little bit of goat cheese on top of asparagus.
- Carefully fold each puff pastry in the middle so it looks like its hugging the asparagus. Brush whisked egg white over each puff pastry and put a little underneath the flap to help it stay in a bundle shape.
- Evenly space the puff pastries around the baking sheet and sprinkle each one with a few pinches of herbs de provence and some flaky salt. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until each puff pastry is golden brown and the asparagus is cooked. Remove from heat and enjoy warm or at room temp.
