Bacon and Asparagus Bundles
The following recipe and photography was provided by Christina Musgrave of Tasting with Tina.
These Bacon and Asparagus Bundles are the most delicious springtime bite!
Each bite is filled with refreshing flavor and texture from fresh asparagus, crisp bacon, flaky puff pastry and savory gruyere.
These are wonderful for a brunch, especially alongside a frittata and mimosas, but they can also double as an appetizer for easy entertaining. Either way, these bites are so simple, but look like they belong in a foodie magazine!
