- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions

- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into squares.
- Take a few asparagus spears and wrap them in prosciutto.
- Place the bundles in the center of each pastry square.

Notes
Make sure your puff pastry is well-chilled before handling for the best puff. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, and reheat in the oven to maintain crispness.
