Puff Pastry-Wrapped Pickled Asparagus Bites
These golden, flaky bites are an easy way to turn our Pickled Asparagus into a standout party appetizer. The buttery puff pastry mellows out the tangy vinegar bite of the pickled asparagus, while Parmesan and bacon add a savory richness that rounds the whole thing out. They come together quickly and look far more impressive than the effort they actually take.
