Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus and Boursin
- 5 or 6 sheets phyllo dough (based on 18 by 14-inch sheets which are often sold in packs of 18 to 20)
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup Parmesan
- 1 small wheel brie cheese (8 ounces), cut into 16 mini-wedges
- 16 asparagus tips, blanched
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make sure phyllo is completely defrosted.
- Once removed from package, you will need to cover phyllo with waxed paper and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.
- Lay out sheet of dough, lightly butter with pastry brush.
- Fold sheet in half, butter again.
- Keep buttering and folding in half (probably 3 "folds" total) until you have a rectangle with dimensions close to 4 by 4-inches.
- Cut into 3 sections.
- Sprinkle Parmesan on each piece of dough.
- Crumble a bit of brie on each.
- Lay asparagus tip on top and roll dough around asparagus.
- The tip of the asparagus should show out of the end.
- Repeat to make 16 pieces.
- Lay all pieces out on a cookie sheet.
- Brush each piece with butter and bake in oven until golden brown.
- Serve warm.
