Cooking time: 10 to 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 150g/5oz ready-made puff pastry
  • flour, for dusting
  • 25g/1oz cream cheese
  • 10 asparagus spears
  • 1 free-range egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan (or a similar vegetarian hard cheese)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

  2. Roll the puff pastry out on a floured surface into an 15cmx25cm/6inx10in rectangle and spread all over with the cream cheese.

  4. Wrap one pastry strip in a spiral around each asparagus spear and place onto a baking tray. Lightly brush each with beaten egg then scatter over the parmesan.

  5. Bake the cigars in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry has risen and is golden-brown.
