Ingredients
For the Puff Pastry:
-
1 (14 oz.) package premium puff pastry sheets
-
1 bunch organic asparagus (ends trimmed)
-
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
-
1 teaspoon sea salt
-
1 teaspoon black pepper
-
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese (sliced lengthwise)
-
1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
For the Herb Honey Sauce:
-
1/4 cup raw honey
-
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
Make the Puff Pastry:
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, toss the asparagus with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until fully coated.
-
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a floured surface and cut into 8 squares.
-
Place a slice of mozzarella on each square, then top with about 4-5 asparagus pieces.
-
Fold two sides of each pastry square over the asparagus to enclose them. Optionally, brush the ends with a little egg wash to ensure they seal tightly.
-
Place the prepared pastries onto the baking sheet, brush the tops with the beaten egg, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Make the Herb Honey Sauce:
-
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the honey, butter, garlic powder, oregano, parsley, and basil. Stir until combined, and the sauce starts to boil.
-
Remove from heat.
Serve:
-
Once the puff pastries are baked, remove from the oven and drizzle the herb honey sauce over the top. Serve and enjoy!
