Today I’m sharing one of my favorite easy appetizers. A couple of years ago my now sister in law introduced me to the classic brie, honey and puff pastry appetizer and it’s become one of my favorites! This recipe is based off that flavor profile, but super delicious in it’s own right. The prosciutto adds a saltiness while the asparagus brings freshness to the dish. It’s all topped with a honey butter and I’m telling you you’re going to love it!
Recipe tips
Puff pastry: For this recipe I use store bought puff pastry. You can definitely make your own but I think this is an easy trick to make this recipe quickly! Before working with the dough you want it to be thawed. You should be able to easily unfold it. If it gets too soft pop it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes prior to baking!
Butter: I typically bake with salted butter because I like the flavor and additional salt. If you prefer you can use unsalted and add some kosher salt to the butter mixture!
Parchment paper: I line the baking sheet with parchment paper because the brie and honey butter tends to melt out a bit. This makes it super easy to clean up!
This easy appetizer recipe will quickly become a staple in your menu! If you end up trying it please leave a rating and review below! 🙂
Brie, Prosciutto & Asparagus Puff Pastries
Ingredients
- 1 package of puff pastry 2 sheets
- 8 tbsp salted butter melted
- 4 tsp honey
- 8 oz Brie
- 1 bundle of asparagus
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 12 slices prosciutto
- 1 egg beaten in a bowl
Instructions
- Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and allow to thaw, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400° and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine melted butter and honey.
- Trim the stalks of the asparagus and toss in olive oil.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into 4 rectangles. Rotate the puff pastry into a diamond shape and brush with the honey butter. Top with a slice of folded prosciutto. Top with 3-4 pieces of asparagus and a slice of brie. Brush with additional honey butter.
- Fold the left side over top and brush the puff pastry with the egg wash. Fold right side over and brush top and sides with more egg wash. Place on baking sheet about 1 inch apart and repeat with remaining puff pastry.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with extra honey butter.

These look great, but if it serves 8, why do you call for 12 slices of prosciutto?

I made these for Easter and they were so easy and looked fancy! I think I added too much cheese because it oozed out a little too much, but delicious. Let it cool a little before serving.

Yes the cheese can be a little unpredictable but glad you overall liked the recipe! 🙂
