  1. Heat the oven to 200C or 180C fan. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

  2. Roll the puff pastry out lightly on a floured surface into a neat rectangle, then spread the cream cheese evenly over the surface.

  3. Sprinkle over most of the Parmesan and a little black pepper, then cut the pastry into 10 long strips.

  4. Trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears. Wrap one strip of pastry around each spear in a spiral from base to tip, leaving the tip exposed.

  5. Arrange on the tray with space between each spiral. Brush with beaten egg and scatter over the remaining Parmesan.

  6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the pastry is puffed and deep golden and the asparagus is just tender. Serve warm.

Notes

If your asparagus spears are thick, trim or peel the woody base so they cook through at the same pace as the pastry.
