Asparagus & Country Ham Puff Pastry Bundles

Asparagus & Country Ham Puff Pastry Bundles

INGREDIENTS

For Pastry

• 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed (I used approx 4-6 thin spears in each pouch)
• 3 heaping tablespoons Duke's mayonnaise
• 6-9 slices Country ham or prosciutto
• 1 sheet Pepperidge Farm frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese or smoked Gouda

For Sauce

1. ¾ cup melted butter
2. 1 ½ tablespoons Dijon mustard
3. 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
4. 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
5. 1 heaping tablespoon minced onion, fresh or dried
6. 1 1/2 tablespoons poppy seeds

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll the pastry sheets out on a floured surface and cut into 8 squares.
3. Spread the mayonnaise over the middle of the pastry squares.
4. Layer 1-1 1/2 pieces of ham over the mayonnaise.
5. Then layer the asparagus over the ham.
6. Sprinkle cheese over the asparagus.
7. Take 2 corners of the pastry and wrap up and over the asparagus and cheese to enclose.
8. Mix butter, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, poppy seeds, and dried onion in a bowl. Pour the mustard mixture evenly over the puffed pastry, saving a little for topping after baking.
9. Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot out of the oven with extra sauce drizzles.

These refrigerate and reheat well. I tend to microwave for 45 seconds, but if you prefer to use the oven, wrap in aluminum foil to prevent burning.
