  • 1  box puff pastry sheets; thawed overnight in the refrigerator
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup creamy horseradish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish mustard; or dijon will work
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces sliced roast beef (lunch meat works fine)
  • 12 ounces sliced Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 pound asparagus spears; cut into 1-inch pieces and blanched
  • 1 egg; beaten
1.  Lightly flour work surface and first piece of puff pastry.  Roll out to approximately 12x17.  Lay on foiled baking sheet.  Repeat for the second layer and put to side.

2.  Mix the sour cream, horseradish sauce, and mustard in bowl; add salt and pepper to taste.  Spread a thin layer on the puff pastry leaving 1-inch space around edge to seal.  Reserve the remaining sauce for topping when serving.

4.  Scatter the asparagus pieces over the top of the roast beef.
