Sprigs In A Blanket

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Asparagus, Dijon, Parmesan, and prosciutto wrapped in puff pastry. Perfect appetizer or side dish. Sprigs in a Blanket are tasty but super easy.

So pretty, these Sprigs in a Blanket (good one, huh?) are perfect for a party appetizer or even a fancy but simple side dish for dinner or brunch.

Almost anything wrapped in puff pastry is a winner, and my family found these wrapped asparagus lovelies to be irresistible and cute. But Sprigs in a Blanket don’t take much effort at all.

Simple as can be- roll the puff pastry to make a 10-inch square. Layer with Dijon mustard and either Parmesan or Pecorino cheese. Then cover the pastry with thinly-sliced prosciutto. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice the dough; I had to use scissors to help the proscuitto cut through. Wrap your sprigs in a “blanket” of the pastry and bake; that’s it!

These look awesome and even veggie-haters might give them a try. The mustard and smokey prosciutto in the puff pastry is kind of like hot dogs with a high-brow flair. Easily leave out the prosciutto for a vegetarian option.

I experimented with reheating the sprigs in a blanket and though not quite as crispy as first-baked, they’re acceptable if you have any leftovers- but don’t count on it. But if you want to make them ahead of serving, this is an option.

Sprigs In A Blanket

Excellent as appetizers or even a fancy, playful side dish. Make them vegetarian by leaving off the prosciutto. Once the puff pastry has thawed, these come together in a snap!

Ingredients 

  • All-purpose flour, for the work surface
  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • Thinly-sliced prosciutto, enough to cover one 10" square of pastry
  • 1 pound asparagus, trimmed (about 20 spears)
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • Fresh ground black pepper
  • Red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425F degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 sheet puff pastry into a 10" square. Brush with 3 Tablespoons mustard and sprinkle with ¼ cup cheese, fully covering the pastry. Line the pastry with enough prosciutto to cover much of the surface.
  • With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the sheet in half (you might need kitchen scissors to help cut the prosciutto); then cut halves into twenty 1-inch by 5-inch strips. Wrap each strip around 1 stalk of asparagus with the prosciutto side facing in.
  • Place wrapped asparagus on the parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Lightly spray each spear with cooking spray.

Cook's Note:

  • Rotate the baking sheets half-way through baking so both pans bake evenly.
  • Bake 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately. I've made these and then had to refrigerate and reheat the spears before and though not quite as crispy, they are acceptable reheated. For reheating, preheat oven to 325F degrees and then heat for about 10 minutes.

    Phenomenal! I think the mustard and prosciutto helped the asparagus from drying out along with giving it great flavor!

    Excellent combination of flavors! We loved them! Very easy to prepare. Only change I made was peeling the asparagus first. (unless they are pencil thin). Peeling the stalk to about an inch from the tip makes it so tender (removes woody toughness).

    So flavorful and super easy to make. I wrapped two stalks per strip of puff pastry. Love how light and crispy they came out.

    Thinking of doing this for an Easter dinner I have to drive over an hour for. Could you prepare them ahead of time then cook them later?

      Hi Laura, I have never done this and honestly am not sure they’d do well prepared early and then baked an hour later (even if in a cooler during traveling). As much as I want you to try my recipe, I also want you to be successful on Easter Sunday. I don’t recommend it. My Incredible Cheese Bombs, on the other hand, could be made and ready to go into the oven, placed in a cooler and travel very well. And they are AMAZING! Just giving you another suggestion. 🙂
