Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

This weekend I helped with a women’s meeting at church. We served refreshments after the meeting and I was in charge of the menu. I wanted a balance of sweet and savory treats and of course it had to look pretty.

We went with a fall theme on the tables with pretty gold tablecloths. I pulled out all my fall decor to decorate the tables. (Please excuse the pictures but the lighting is terrible in the church!)

I created little name cards for each of the dishes because I am one of those people who just likes to know what they are eating.  Check out my scrapbooking blog to see how I made them.  I found the fun little easels for the signs at the Dollar Store – 2 for $1.00!

I will share the various recipes for the evening over the next few weeks but the first one I”ll share and my very favorite savory treat of the evening was the Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus. It is a Paula Deen recipe.

It only takes 4 ingredients and is fairly easy to put together and delicious to eat!

The most difficult part is working with the phyllo dough which can be a little delicate but just take your time and keep it covered so it doesn’t dry out as you work with it and you’ll be fine.

Cut the sheets of phyllo into quarters lengthwise.  Be gentle!

I used one stalk of asparagus cut in half in each wrap but the gal who did it for the event at the church used two full stocks.   Gently brush the phyllo dough with melted butter and then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and place asparagus at the end of the dough and wrap.

Place on cookie sheet and gently brush with more melted butter and then sprinkle with more cheese.
