INGREDIENTS

8 Thawed phyllo sheets
1/2 c Extra-virgin olive oil
OR melted butter
1 c Chopped fresh herbs*
32 Asparagus spears, trimmed
32 WRAPS DAIRY-FREE

INSTRUCTIONS

This winning presentation is achieved by wrapping and baking a single
asparagus spear in paper-thin phyllo pastry that's been sprinkled with
herbs. A platter of these spears looks impressive on a buffet table,
but be warned, they will disappear quickly. The asparagus can be
wrapped up to 2 days before baking; keep covered in the refrigerator.
*such as chives, tarragon, lemon, verbena, dill, thyme  Work with 1
sheet of phyllo at a time; leave the others covered with  plastic and a
damp towel. Brush one sheet with a little oil or butter,  sprinkle with
2 tablespoons herbs. Cut sheet vertically into 4 strips.  Place one
asparagus spear diagonally across the corner of one strip,  then roll
tightly like a cigar. Tuck in remaining dough at end.  Repeat with
remaining phyllo and asparagus. Transfer wrapped  asparagus to platter,
cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.  Preheat oven to 425
degrees. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a baking  sheet. Bake until
pastry is golden and asparagus is tender, about 20  minutes. Serve
warm.  PER WRAP: 48 CAL.; 1G PROT.; 3G TOTAL FAT (1G SAT. FAT); 3G
