Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 pkg. Refrigerated Danish Pastry Dough (if you don't have any near you, use a sheet of crescent dough instead)
- 8-12 ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4-8 swiss cheese slices
- 1/2 lb. asparagus
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
- sea salt (optional)
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Unroll danish pastry dough out on a floured surface. Using a knife, cut 1/4-1/2" tabs along both long sides. Be sure and check out this Apple Braid recipe for a great visual look at an easy method to make the cuts for the braid.
- Spread the Dijon Mustard in the center of the dough.
- Layer the ham slices up on top of the Dijon Mustard.
- Layer the Swiss Slices next.
- Braid the bread dough.
- Cut the asparagus to about 2" including the head.
- Slide them in between the different braided spots like you see in the photo.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg white and water together. Brush across the top of the bread. Sprinkle sea salt lightly over the top and on the asparagus, if desired.
- Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
