How to Make Bacon Asparagus Pastry Twist:

Step 1

Fill a pot with water and add some salt, then add the asparagus, and boil them for about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then remove the asparagus from the pot, and let it drain off all the excess water.

Step 2

Unroll the puff pastry, then cut it into strips, and then start assembling the pastry twist. Place the bacon on a cutting board, then place the asparagus, and roll it over until wrapped.

Step 3

Next, roll and wrap the bacon-covered asparagus in a strip of puff pastry, then transfer them to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, and space them evenly.

Step 4

Brush them with beaten egg on top, then place them in an oven preheated at 190°C or 375°F, and allow them to bake for about 25 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
