- Preheat oven to 180°C. Lay one sheet of filo at a time out on clean bench. Brush 1 cm strip at furthest edge with a little egg mixture. Sprinkle lower half with a little cheese.
- Place one asparagus spear at bottom edge and season with pepper. Fold two side edges over and roll asparagus firmly in pastry, pressing down the strip at the end to secure. Repeat with remaining pastry and asparagus. Brush rolls lightly with egg mixture. If liked, sprinkle with sesame or poppy seeds.
- Brush baking tray with a little oil and arrange rolls on tray. Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned and crispy at the ends.
- Serve your skinny minny asparagus rolls warm or cold with chutney and wasabi mayonnaise.
