Creating Make-Ahead Puff Pastry with Asparagus Tips is simple. Follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Asparagus: In a bowl, toss the asparagus tips with olive oil, salt, and pepper until well coated.

3. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one sheet of puff pastry into a rectangle, about ¼ inch thick.

4. Cut Pastry: Using a sharp knife, cut the pastry into rectangles or squares, depending on your desired size.

5. Prepare the Filling: Place a few asparagus tips in the center of each pastry piece. If using, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese at this stage.

6. Seal the Edges: Fold the edges of the pastry over the asparagus and press lightly to seal. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish.

7. Bake: Transfer the assembled pastries to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

These straightforward steps will lead you to a celebratory dish that is as gorgeous as it is delicious!
