Ingredients

800 g asparagus, woody ends snapped off
1/2 None lemon, juiced
1 tbsp butter
4 slices cooked ham
150 g cream cheese with herbs
270 g ready-rolled puff pastry, cut into 4 equal squares
1 None egg yolk

Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cook the asparagus, lemon juice and butter in boiling salted water for 3-5 mins, until tender. Drain and refresh with cold water. Allow to cool.
Spread the ham slices with the cream cheese. Place a slice of ham on each puff pastry square and top each with 1/4 of the asparagus. Beat the egg yolk and milk together and brush around the pastry edges. Roll up and press the edges together. Bake for 30-35 mins, until puffed and golden.
