Asparagus and Cheese Puff Pastry Bundles
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus, 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 with added herbs)
- 6 dairy-free cheese slices
For brushing
- 2 tbsp non-dairy cream
- 1 tsp olive oil
Optional 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 cut into 6 or 8 squares
Spread the dairy-free cream cheese on each square
Place a slice of dairy-free cheese and 3-4 stalks of asparagus on each square
Take two corners of the pastry and wrap them up and over the asparagus, pressing to seal
Repeat with the remaining squares and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving space between bundles
Brush each pastry with non-dairy cream and a drizzle of olive oil
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until puffed and golden brown
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and thyme if desired, and serve immediately with a drizzle of lemon juice
