Asparagus and Cheese Puff Pastry Bundles
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
- 2 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 sheet puff pastry, fresh or thawed
- 150 g dairy-free herb cream cheese or plain + herbs
- 6 dairy-free cheese slices
For brushing
- 2 tbsp non-dairy cream
- 1 tsp olive oil
For garnish
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- Fresh lemons
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss together the asparagus, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Roll the pastry sheet out on a floured surface and use a pizza cutter to cut it into 6 or 8 squares depending on size.
Spread the dairy-free cream cheese on each square.
Follow with a slice of dairy-free cheese and 3-4 stalks of asparagus depending on size.
Take 2 corners of the pastry and wrap them up and over the asparagus, pressing to seal.
Repeat with remaining squares, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bundle.
Brush each pastry with non-dairy cream and a drizzle of olive oil.
Transfer them to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
Sprinkle with more salt and pepper and thyme if desired and serve immediately with a drizzle of lemon juice.
