- Roll out each pastry sheet to fit the baking sheet, place on prepared pans.
- Spread evenly with mustard, leaving 1 inch border around the edges.
- Arrange asparagus, side by side and alternating ends, on the mustard; sprinkle with cheese and pepper.
- In a small bowl, beat egg with milk; lightly brush over the pastry border.
