I absolutely LOVE asparagus season. If you live in the UK and drive along in the countryside during May and July, you’ll sometimes see stalls by the road selling bunches (or failing that it will usually be on special offer at the supermarkets at this time!) British Asparagus, grown in this country, is very different to the type you can buy all year round that’s imported. It’s tender and the taste is almost indescribably unique. But it can get lost and overcooked in sauce dishes and it deserves to be far more centre stage than a soggy side on its own… welcome to asparagus in puff pastry! These Cheese & Asparagus Puffs are SO delicious, a bit special and ridiculously easy to make.
Why you’ll love this asparagus recipe
⭐️ Impressive bake in under 30 minutes ⭐️ Simple 4-ingredient treat ⭐️ Perfect for summery starter, side or lunch They’re so simple to make, with just 4 ingredients needed, and all we have to do is lay out the ready-made puff pastry, lay the ingredients on top and then fold them together before baking. These really come in handy when you want to make something a little special and homemade but don’t have a lot of time and don’t want any hassle. They’re ideal for smart picnics, when you need to contribute to a summer buffet, if you’re cooking a nice light lunch or if you have vegetarians attending a garden BBQ. If you love asparagus, I think you’ll be making this a staple nibble recipe! In the freezer You can freeze these, unbaked, after step 8 in the recipe below. Then, when it’s time to eat them, defrost them fully and bake as normal (they may need an extra minute or two if they’re very cold). Also I’d LOVE to see your cooking creations.
