Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into rectangles.
Spread a teaspoon of Dijon mustard on each piece of puff pastry.
Place a slice of prosciutto on top of the mustard, then add a few asparagus stalks and a sprinkle of Gruyere cheese.
Fold the pastry over the filling to create bundles and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
Beat the egg and brush the tops of the bundles with the egg wash, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle optional flaky sea salt on top and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
