Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings of 2 appetizers each

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 or 6 sheets phyllo dough (based on 18 by 14-inch sheets which are often sold in packs of 18 to 20)
1 cup melted butter
1/4 cup Parmesan
1 small wheel brie cheese (8 ounces), cut into 16 mini-wedges
16 asparagus tips, blanched

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.

Categories     Vegetable     Bake     Vegetarian     Phyllo/Puff Pastry Dough

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 or 9 asparagus spears, depending on size
1/2 (16-ounce) package frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve 1 stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out. Take 1 sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with some melted butter. Sprinkle with some Parmesan. Place 2 to 3 asparagus spears on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better when wrapped in phyllo dough and baked.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears before wrapping them in phyllo dough.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears: Blanching the asparagus spears before wrapping them in phyllo dough will help them cook evenly and maintain their bright green color.
  • Use high-quality phyllo dough: High-quality phyllo dough will be less likely to tear when you are wrapping the asparagus spears.
  • Brush the phyllo dough with melted butter: Brushing the phyllo dough with melted butter will help it brown and crisp in the oven.
  • Bake the phyllo-wrapped asparagus spears at a high temperature: Baking the phyllo-wrapped asparagus spears at a high temperature will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the phyllo-wrapped asparagus spears immediately: Phyllo-wrapped asparagus spears are best served immediately after they are baked.
