Ingredients

  • 6 sheets Athens Fillo® Dough thawed
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons crisp bacon finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • Cooking Spray
  • 18 medium asparagus spears trimmed

Instructions

  • Thaw one roll of fillo following thawing instructions on package.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll and cover the sheets with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent drying out.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, bacon, and Parmesan cheese.
  • Place one sheet of fillo on work surface and lightly coat ½ of the sheet with cooking spray lengthwise. Fold sheet in half lengthwise and spray top layer.
  • Place 3 spears of asparagus on top of the fillo dough 1-inch from the short end. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the bread crumb mixture evenly on the asparagus.
  • Roll the fillo around the asparagus to create a bundle. Place bundle on a baking tray seam side down. Lightly spray the outside. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture to garnish.
  • Repeat with remaining sheets of fillo dough and asparagus.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the fillo is a light golden brown and asparagus in tender. Serve immediately.
