A delightful appetizer featuring asparagus wrapped in Parma ham and puff pastry, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal puff pastry rise.
Cut each slice of Parma ham in half lengthwise.
Using a sharp knife will make cleaner cuts and prevent tearing.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a half slice of Parma ham, leaving the tip exposed.
Ensure the ham is snugly wrapped to keep it in place during baking.
Cut the puff pastry into 8 equal squares.
Keep the pastry cold for easier handling and better puffing.
Place a wrapped asparagus diagonally on each pastry square and fold the corners over to form an open-ended parcel.
Press the pastry edges gently to secure the wrap.
Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the pastry.
The egg wash gives the pastry a beautiful golden sheen.
Arrange the parcels on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until golden and puffed.
Check the wraps halfway through to ensure even baking.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
A sweet chili or garlic aioli sauce pairs wonderfully with these wraps.
