Day 5: Puff Pastry Wrapped Asparagus

I am going to break this day's meal into three posts since I tried 3 new recipes that all deserve their own special attention. The entire meal consisted to Puff Pastry Wrapped Asparagus, Scalloped Hasselback Potatoes, and a Ribeye with Herb Sauce. It seemed like as a whole the meal was an unhealthy version of what could have been potentially pretty diet. I only really liked the steak and herb sauce, but the bf really liked the potato and asparagus.
I think I realized that I don't like asparagus. I tried, and I think it it were any other vegetable cooked this way I'd probably love it. The boyfriend loved it though and requested that I make asparagus like this again (he rarely--if ever--requests vegetables).

This is where I found this recipe originally. 


Puff Pastry Wrapped Asparagus 

What You'll Need:
1 puff pastry sheet
flour for dusting
6 pieces asparagus, ends trimmed
5 ounces cream cheese
1 egg, beaten
Parmesan Cheese
Onion Powder (to taste)
Garlic Powder (to taste)

1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Roll the puff pastry sheet out and layer generously with cream cheese

3. Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder over cream cheese (I wish I used more than I did)

4. Cut pastry into 6 strips
5. Wrap one strip around one spear of asparagus.

6. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
7. Bake at 400°F until pastry is cooked and golden brown (10-15 minutes).

ENJOY!
