    • Place 2 asparagus spears diagonally across each pastry piece.
    • Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  4. Wrap & Seal:

    • Fold opposite corners of the pastry over the asparagus and gently press to seal.
    • Place bundles on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Egg Wash & Toppings:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk (or water).
    • Brush the egg wash over each bundle.
    • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and sesame seeds or bagel seasoning, if using.
  6. Bake:
