Parmesan Spring Rolls

By: Executive Chef Greg Ziegenfuss

(User note, at Butlers Pantry we make our own pastry for this “spring roll.” For the sake of ease I am suggesting using pre-made frozen puff pastry dough.)

• Ingredients:

• 12 ea. fresh spears of asparagus, blanched and trimmed to 5 inches

• 12 ea.  5inch by 2inch pieces of thawed puff pastry dough

• 1.5 cups shredded parmesan cheese

• Egg wash

Steps:
1. Egg wash each piece of puff pastry, lay one asparagus on each piece of dough.

2. Sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese and roll up like rolling a cigar.

3. Repeat with all pastry and asparagus.

4. Egg wash the outside of each spring roll and again sprinkle generously with parmesan cheese.

5. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven until browned and crisp, approx. 10 – 15 minutes depending on your oven.

6. Cut in half and serve immediately. Serve with your favorite aioli

Note: May be made up to 6 hours in advance and reheated for service.
