Extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in a sheath of prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles image

This is a fantastic and simple way to prepare asparagus! I don't think I will ever go back to just plain steamed asparagus. Prociutto is expensive, but this recipe doesn't use very much. And its TOTALLY worth the expense. This could be a fantastic first course or a side dish

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus image

A great appetizer to serve from Bon Appetit. The cheese can be hard to spread on the prosciutto, so try to get the prosciutto cut a little thicker than those in packages. I usually make half of these with the honey mustard, and the other half without it because some people think the mustard is a little too over powering. But either way, they go fast.

CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND ASPARAGUS CRUSTED BUNDLES



Cheese, Prosciutto and Asparagus Crusted Bundles image

Want something that is great for every night but is amazing for dinner parties, holidays or a special event but very very easy. A few slices of prosciutto from your grocer's deli, some store bought crescent rolls and asparagus. Now if you want to get really special, buy a mix of white, green and sometimes you can find the red asparagus. I did this for a Christmas party and it was a hit. But if you can't get other colors, get green, that is just fine.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 5 bundles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed (not the pencil thin)
crescent roll (1 can rolled out flat and press the cuts together, Pillsbury or any brand name, Pillsbury even makes)
6 slices prosciutto, thin sliced
3 ounces herb cheese spread (Boursin or any herb soft cheese)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Asparagus -- Pre cook the asparagus just 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave just lay flat on a paper towel and cover with a damp paper towel. Just to get a head start.
  • Rolls -- Spread out the crescent rolls and press the pre cut seems together to form one large sheet. Cut in half top to bottom and then cup each half in 3 strips. Spread with some of the boursin or herb cheese. (Thin layer, not heavy).
  • Wrap -- 4-5 asparagus spears with prosciutto. I like to alternate the spears going in different directions to make sure they cook evenly. Then wrap in the strips of crescent rolls a spiral pattern around the asparagus and prosciutto. Make sure you leave the tips and the very ends open (a inch or more) but the rest should be wrapped with the crescent roll.
  • Bake -- Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave and brush with butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and bake in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.

ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO



Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 8 servings of 2 asparagus spears each

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 tablespoons butter
2 egg yolks from pasteurized eggs (these are identified in stores as "pasteurized" and although not cooked, they have been sufficiently heated for food safety)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Dash salt
16 asparagus spears, tough ends snapped off, and boiled until just tender but still bright green
16 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Clarify butter by melting it in a very small pot or metal container over low heat and scooping out the foam that rises. Then, spoon off the clear butterfat to a clean bowl or container, being careful not to disturb the water or milk solids at the bottom. The clear portion is clarified butter. Set this aside briefly in a warm place. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, and salt in a blender and process at high speed for about 60 seconds. Leaving the blender running, pour the clarified butter through the feed opening of the blender in a slow steady stream and mix until thickened. Pour into a shallow plate. Dip each asparagus spear into the sauce so that three-fourths of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the sauce on each asparagus spear, leaving a dry end for guests to serve themselves.

Categories     appetizer

Time 23m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup balsamic vinegar
Salt
12 asparagus spears
12 thin slices prosciutto
Extra-virgin olive oil, to serve
Freshly ground black pepper
Fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Pour the vinegar into a small pot and bring it to a boil over high heat. Turn the heat to medium low and reduce the vinegar by about 1/4, or until it is thick. Let cool.
  • Put a pot of salted water over high heat. Trim the asparagus spears to that they are all the same length. Peel the bottom half of the spears with a vegetable peeler. Tie the asparagus together into a bundle using kitchen string. When the water is boiling, lower the asparagus into the pot and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Plunge the asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. When it is completely cold, remove the spears and lay them out onto a rack to dry.
  • Roll a slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear. Arrange them on a platter and drizzle over some olive oil. Sprinkle with some pepper and salt. Finally, dribble on some of the reduced balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
