Phyllo Wrapped Cheesy Asparagus Recipes

PHYLLO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

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.

PHYLLO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. ( I used my toaster oven at 350°). Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Heat a pan of water to boiling. Add a generous pinch or two of salt. Boil for a couple of minutes until the asparagus is almost tender. Drain and pat dry. Cool. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half if the sheets are big. (I had a 13x9 phyllo sheet and just folded it in half.) You basically want the phyllo to be the length of the asparagus spears (folded in double). 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 (or olive oil). Place one asparagus spear on the phyllo sheet then sprinkle with some Parmesan, chipotle (optional), a tiny bit of kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Fold the corner of the other end...you don't have to do this (just my own personal idea), but I find it is prettier. It sort of shows you the distinct layers of the phyllo dough. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter (or olive oil). Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Do check on them, as you don't want to them to burn. Sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan cheese and a pinch of chipotle pepper before serving.

PHYLLO WRAPPED CHEESY ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Thin cream cheese with the milk.
• Carefully unroll phyllo dough and cut 3 strips width-wise. Cover with a damp towel to keep moist while you are working. Layer 3-4 strips of phyllo on your work surface, brushing melted butter and sprinkling some bread crumbs between each layer, as well as on the top. On the top strip additionally, spread some of the cream cheese mixture and sprinkle some of the parmigiano cheese. Take 3 asparagus spears, lay on top of the phyllo strips and wrap around middle/bottom part of asparagus. It should look very pretty with some of the green sticking out on both ends. Brush additional butter on top and sprinkle more parmigiano cheese and bread crumbs.
• Repeat this process until you are out of asparagus.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown. Serve warm.

BRIE AND ASPARAGUS IN PHYLLO

Lay out sheet of dough, lightly butter with pastry brush. Fold sheet in half, butter again. Keep re-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.
