Puff pastry rolls with asparagus, speck and melty cheese are one of those spring recipes that lift your spirits. Yes, because when asparagus arrive it’s a sign of spring, sunshine, longer days and milder temperatures.

And I love asparagus! Like the delicious rolls without puff pastry, the asparagus risotto, the soufflé, the chips and the asparagus parmigiana, asparagus and eggs, asparagus and speck.

Preparing recipes with asparagus is easy and, thanks to their delicate but distinctive flavor, they lend themselves to many tasty and creative pairings.

One of the most indulgent and versatile preparations remains these rolls of asparagus, puff pastry, speck and cheese.
These asparagus rolls are perfect as an appetizer, aperitif or even for brunch: just wrap blanched asparagus in some speck, enclose them in strips of puff pastry together with a melty cheese such as scamorza or provola.

Once brushed with egg and baked, they become golden, crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with a perfect balance between the strong flavor of speck, the creaminess of the cheese and the freshness of the asparagus.

Asparagus are rich in vitamins and antioxidants, useful for the immune system and heart health.
They have diuretic and cleansing properties, helping to eliminate toxins and fight water retention.
They are light, low in calories and promote digestion thanks to their fiber content.
