Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make sure phyllo is completely defrosted. Once removed from package, you will need to cover phyllo with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out. Lay out sheet of dough, lightly butter with pastry brush. Fold sheet in half, butter again. Keep buttering and folding in half (probably 3 "folds" total) until you have a rectangle with dimensions close to 4 by 4-inches. Cut into 3 sections. Sprinkle Parmesan on each piece of dough. Crumble a bit of brie on each. Lay asparagus tip on top and roll dough around asparagus. The tip of the asparagus should show out of the end. Repeat to make 16 pieces. Lay all pieces out on a cookie sheet. Brush each piece with butter and bake in oven until golden brown. Serve warm.
EASY YET ROMANTIC FILET MIGNON
This recipe is very simple and very delicious also. I can prepare it, and I am a 14 year old boy! This recipe only takes a few minutes to prepare and only a bit longer in the broiler. This goes good with some mashed potatoes with butter and green beans with lemon squeezed on top. This is good, trust me!

Steps:
- Cook lobster in large saucepan of boiling salted water until just opaque in center, about 7 minutes. Using tongs, transfer lobster to work surface and cool slightly (reserve water in pan). Remove lobster meat from shell. Cut meat into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Bring 1/3 cup milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Add lobster meat and tarragon; cover and set aside.
- Return reserved water in pan to boil. Add potatoes and boil until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to pan and mash. Add butter and lobster mixture to mashed potatoes and stir until butter melts. Season potatoes to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Before serving, rewarm over low heat, stirring often and thinning with more milk, if desired. Or transfer to microwave-safe bowl, cover with plastic, and rewarm in microwave until heated through, about 2 minutes.)
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish, so use the best you can afford. Look for grass-fed beef tenderloin and fresh lobster.
- Cook the filet mignon to your desired doneness: The recommended cooking time is 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, but you can adjust this depending on your preference.
- Make sure the mashed potatoes are smooth and creamy: Use a potato ricer to get the smoothest texture. You can also add a little milk or cream to make them even creamier.
- Don't overcook the lobster: Lobster is a delicate seafood, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it for just a few minutes until it is cooked through but still tender.
- Reduce the merlot until it is thick and syrupy: This will help to concentrate the flavor of the wine and make it a delicious sauce for the filet mignon.
Conclusion:
This filet mignon over lobster boursin mashed potatoes with a merlot reduction is a luxurious and delicious dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender filet mignon, succulent lobster, and creamy mashed potatoes are all perfectly complemented by the rich and flavorful merlot reduction. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is sure to satisfy the most discerning palate.
