Place slices of Halloumi Cheese right in the middle, leaving space around the edges to make a parcel.
Lay the bundle of Asparagus on top of the cheese and brush the edges with milk.
Gently wrap the two edges until they overlap. make sure the asparagus can be seen across the top and bottom of the puff pastry.
Remember to place the rosemary and garlic cloves too that was used earlier for cooking the asparagus on the baking tray with the puff pastry. They infuse great flavours to the puff pastry.
