1-Getting started with puff pastry asparagus ham wraps cheese is easier than you might think, and it all begins with simple prep work. First, preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure your wraps bake evenly. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper to add flavor and prevent sticking.

2-Next, mix 3 heaping tablespoons of whole grain mustard with 2 tablespoons honey in a small bowl to create a tasty spread. Roll out the 2 sheets of thawed puff pastry on a floured surface and cut them into 8 squares for even portions. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of the honey mustard mixture in the center of each square, then layer 1-2 slices of the 125 grams prosciutto or ham over it. Place the asparagus spears on top, sprinkle with 170 grams shredded smoked Gouda or aged cheddar cheese, and fold two corners of the pastry over the filling to enclose it securely.

3-Transfer the bundles to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining squares. Brush each one with the beaten egg for a golden finish and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning if you like extra crunch. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry turns golden brown, then serve hot with extra mustard or honey drizzles for a sweet-savory kick. Remember, working quickly with cold puff pastry helps it puff up nicely, and you can prepare the bundles ahead without the egg wash, refrigerating them covered until you’re ready to bake.
