ReplyDeleteHolly it's a siple simple recipe. In 10 minutes you can wrap the prosciutto and the puff pastry around the asparagus and that's it, bake it and your appetizer it's ready to serve. Easy.
DeleteThis looks great! I love the presentation!
ReplyDeleteElpiniki thanks so much for the comment. This time I wrapped them with puff pastry from end to end like a spiral, sometimes I just put a wide piece of pastry around the asparagus, like a ring. That looks fancy too.
DeleteThis is great for a dinner party. This is definetely a keeper!
ReplyDeleteAlida, everybody will think that you stayed all day long in the kitcken to prepare them. We know the truth, it takes just a few minutes to prepare them and than you pu them in the oven. Delicious.

ReplyDeleteTerri You are right, actually you can serve it by itself, or as an appetizer. I made this for dinner, I wanted something light and I had all the ingredients at home. Just defrost the puff pastry and in no time you have your dinner, or appetizer, or side dish :-)
DeleteThat sure looks like the perfect appetizer; love it. Thank you for your visit.
