Ingredients You’ll Need

These ingredients come together like old friends—simple, fresh, and ready to shine. You’ll want to grab good quality prosciutto and a creamy, ripe Brie for the best results. Oh, and don’t skip the parchment paper when baking; it saves you some serious cleanup headaches!

Unsalted Butter: Melted to brush the pastry and bring out a rich, golden crust.
Honey: Adds a subtle sweetness that balances the salty prosciutto beautifully.
Kosher Salt: Just a pinch to elevate all the flavors.
Asparagus: Pencil-thin spears are perfect for fitting into the bundles; make sure to trim the woody ends.
Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: Tosses the asparagus for a light roast and a little extra flavor.
All-Purpose Flour: For rolling out the puff pastry without sticking.
Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets: Thawed properly; this is your flaky, buttery base.
Prosciutto: Thin slices add that savory, salty kick that pairs perfectly with Brie.
Brie Cheese: Cut into pieces—make sure it’s ripe so it melts beautifully inside.
Large Egg: Whisked with a little water to create an egg wash that gives the bundles a golden, glossy finish.
Freshly Ground Black Pepper: To season and add just a hint of spice on top.

Variations

I absolutely love mixing it up with this Brie, Asparagus, & Prosciutto Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe depending on what I have on hand or what mood I’m in. Feel free to get creative and make it your own!

Cheese Swap: Sometimes I swap Brie for camembert or a mild goat cheese for a different creamy twist.
Veggie Boost: Sautéed mushrooms or caramelized onions add depth and create a heartier vegetarian version (skip the prosciutto).
Herbs: Try adding fresh thyme or rosemary inside the bundles for an herby aroma that’ll wow your guests.
Gluten-Free: I’ve experimented with gluten-free puff pastry for friends with allergies—just watch bake times as they sometimes cook faster.

How to Make Brie, Asparagus, & Prosciutto Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 400°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, and salt. Toss the trimmed asparagus in olive oil, giving them a light coating so they roast just a bit in the oven.

Step 2: Roll and Cut Your Puff Pastry

Lightly flour a clean surface and unroll one sheet of frozen puff pastry at a time. Roll each sheet into a 15” by 10” rectangle—don’t worry if you’re not perfect! Then cut each sheet into 6 squares, giving you 12 total.

Step 3: Assemble the Bundles with Love

Turn each pastry square so it looks like a diamond. Brush each with the butter-honey mixture, then layer a piece of prosciutto, a few asparagus spears, and a slice of Brie on top. When folding, gently tuck the left side of the pastry over the fillings and brush with egg wash. Fold the right side over and brush all exposed pastry with more egg wash. Finish by sprinkling freshly ground black pepper on top.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden Perfection

Place your bundles on the prepared baking sheets, giving each some space to puff up. Bake for about 15 minutes until the pastry is golden and the Brie is oh-so-melty. Just before serving, brush on the remaining butter-honey mixture for a shiny, flavorful finish.

Pro Tips for Making Brie, Asparagus, & Prosciutto Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe

Thaw Puff Pastry Properly: I once rushed this step and ended up with cracking pastry—always thaw it overnight in the fridge or as package directs.
Don’t Overfill: Less is more here; too much filling makes the pastry hard to seal and can leak cheesy goodness everywhere.
Brush Generously with Egg Wash: It helps the pastry turn that perfect golden brown and lets seasonings stick.
Use Fresh Asparagus: Woody ends can ruin the texture, so I always trim well and choose tender stalks for bite perfection.

How to Serve Brie, Asparagus, & Prosciutto Puff Pastry Bundles Recipe

There are several small wrapped pastries on a white marbled surface. Each pastry has a golden-brown puffed outer layer that is crispy and flaky. Inside each one, there are three or four bright green asparagus spears with a slightly charred texture at the tips. Beneath the asparagus, there is a layer of thin, slightly browned slices of cured meat. Melted, light yellow cheese covers the meat and asparagus, slightly bubbling and blending into the edges of the pastry. Some of the pastries show a sprinkle of black pepper on top. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Garnishes

I love sprinkling a little flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper on top just before serving—it adds a nice crunch and amps up the flavor. Sometimes I add a few fresh thyme leaves or chopped parsley to brighten things up and make the bundles look extra inviting.

Side Dishes

Pair these little bundles with a crisp green salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette or a light tomato bruschetta for a fresh, vibrant contrast. They also go beautifully alongside a simple charcuterie board or a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Creative Ways to Present

For parties, I’ve arranged these bundles on wooden serving boards surrounded by fresh herb sprigs and edible flowers to make the whole spread look festive and elegant. Another fun idea is to serve them alongside a dipping sauce like honey mustard or a tangy balsamic glaze for an extra flavor kick.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftovers (good for you!), I like to store the bundles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. They keep surprisingly well, but the pastry is best on the day you bake.

Freezing

I’ve frozen these before assembling—simply prepare the bundles, flash freeze on a baking sheet until solid, then store in freezer bags. When you’re ready, bake them straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.

Reheating

Reheat leftover bundles in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes to restore the crispiness of the pastry. Microwaving makes them soggy, so definitely stick with the oven or a toaster oven for best results.

FAQs

Can I use fresh puff pastry instead of frozen?

Absolutely! Fresh puff pastry works beautifully and might even give you a slightly flakier texture. Just be sure to handle it gently and keep it cold as you work.
Is there a vegetarian alternative for the prosciutto?

Yes! For a vegetarian version, you can replace prosciutto with roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or even sautéed mushrooms to keep that savory note.
How do I prevent the puff pastry from getting soggy?

Brushing the pastry with egg wash and baking on parchment or a baking stone helps it retain crispiness. Also, avoid overfilling with wet ingredients and serve immediately for best texture.
Can I prepare these bundles ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the bundles, keep them covered in the fridge, and bake just before serving. This saves time and ensures they come out fresh and golden.
