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.

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.

PROSCIUTTO SPIRALS WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE



Prosciutto Spirals With Balsamic Glaze image

From the Pampered Chef cookbook Easy and Impressive Appetizers. This appetizer can be made the day before and garnished with glaze when serving. Shortcuts for Canadian cooks: shop at Superstore/Loblaws for President's Choice Glaze with Balsamic Vinegar and Artichoke & Asiago Tapenade to replace the cream cheese and artichoke mixture.

Provided by Lille

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 48 spirals

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (light, spreadable works well)
1 (14 ounce) can water-packed artichoke hearts, drained & coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons red onions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
16 slices prosciutto (8 ounce package)
2 cups arugula

Steps:

  • Prepare glaze by simmering vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced by half. Set aside. According to the recipe, this should take 7-9 minutes but I found it took quite a bit longer. Now I use the balsamic glaze mentioned in the description.
  • Prepare the filling by whisking (or beating with a mixer) the cream cheese until smooth. Add artichokes, onion and basil to cream cheese and mix well.
  • To assemble rolls, lay a sheet of plastic wrap on work surface. Arrange four slices of prosciutto vertically on plastic wrap, overlapping slightly to form a 9 inch square. Spread 1/3 cup of artichoke filling over prosciutto. Top with 1/2 cup of arugula (you could substitute romaine cut in thin strips).
  • Starting at the side closest to you, tightly roll up prosciutto and fillings like a jelly-roll or a sushi roll. Wrap up in the plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve. Repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 rolls.
  • To serve, remove each roll from plastic wrap and slice into 12 spirals for a total of 48 rolls. Place on serving platter and drizzle with glaze.

Categories     Side     Bake     Asparagus     Prosciutto     Pastry

Yield Serves 30

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 package (17.3 ounces) Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets, thawed
6 tablespoons garlic & herb spreadable cheese, softened
8 slices prosciutto or thinly sliced deli ham
30 medium asparagus spears, trimmed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°F. Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Spread 3 tablespoons cheese on each pastry sheet. Top each with 4 slices prosciutto. Cut each into 15 strips crosswise, making 30 in all.
  • Tightly wrap 1 pastry strip around each asparagus spear, prosciutto-side in. Place the pastries seam-side down onto 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
  • TIPS
  • • Don't try to manipulate Puff Pastry that's not completely thawed; unfolding it while it's still frozen could tear the sheet.
  • • When cutting Puff Pastry, the sharper the knife or pastry cutter, the better. A dull edge can cement layers together and prevent pastry from rising.
