Categories Egg

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup diced onion
1 clove minced garlic
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced parsley
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce
4 eggs, beaten
1 pound asparagus, trimmed & cut 1/2" pieces

Cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes; drain well.

Tips:

Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better when wrapped in puff pastry.
Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the woody ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
Blanch the asparagus spears: This will help them stay green and tender. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the asparagus spears, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the spears from the boiling water and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Pat the asparagus spears dry: Before wrapping them in puff pastry, pat the spears dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry: This will help prevent the pastry from tearing.
Brush the puff pastry with egg wash before baking: This will help the pastry brown and give it a shiny finish.
Serve the cheesy asparagus bites warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Cheesy asparagus bites are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in under 30 minutes.
