This is one of my all-time favorite appetizers. Fast and easy, the golden bites are always a huge hit. I make and freeze batches for dinner parties throughout the year. Your family and friends will love this recipe. ENJOY!
Yield: 28 Servings
Prep time: 30 min. + chilling
Bakeing time: 10 min.
Ingredients:
2 cups water
24 fresh asparagus spears (about 1 pound), trimmed
1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package (17-1/4 ounces) frozen puff pastry dough, thawed
1/4 cup egg substitute
Directions:
1. In a large nonstick skillet, bring water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and cook for 3 minutes. Drain asparagus and immediately place in ice water; drain and pat dry.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and salt until smooth; set aside.
Unfold the dough on a lightly floured surface.
3. Cut each sheet in half widthwise. For each rectangle, spread cream cheese mixture lengthwise over half of the dough to within 1/2 in. of edges.
4. Arrange two rows of three asparagus spears lengthwise in a single layer over cream cheese.
5. Brush edges of dough with some of the egg substitute; fold dough over filling and press edges together to seal. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. Cut widthwise into 1-1/4-in. pieces. Place 1 in. apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Brush with remaining egg substitute.
7.Bake at 425° for 8-12 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
