Was it you, or did I see elsewhere a recipe for bacon-wrapped asparagus?
Think it may have been this ...
Now who doesn’t love an easy and impressive recipe? This simple dish is made with only 5 ingredients.
Prosciutto wrapped asparagus can be cooked in the oven or even on the barbecue for summer. Serve it as an appetiser, side dish, a light lunch or finger food. A full platter would look beautiful to take to friends. And for a luxurious breakfast, dip in soft boiled eggs instead of toast soldiers.
Ingredients:
6 Wraps
12 asparagus spears
6 thin slices prosciutto
1 tbs ground almonds
30g Cheddar cheese grated into a fine texture
2 tbs double (heavy) cream
Method:
Mix the Cheddar cheese and ground almonds in a small cup.
Cut the bottom inch from the asparagus spears then place into a large saucepan.
Add enough boiling water to just cover the asparagus, bring to the boil for 2 minutes. You want the asparagus to remain slightly crunchy, but not raw, in the middle.
Remove from the heat and drain.
Place a prosciutto slice on a chopping board and place 2 asparagus spears diagonally on top.
Sprinkle a little of the cheese mix across the asparagus and drizzle with a little cream then roll up. Place in the baking dish.
Repeat with all the other prosciutto slices and asparagus spears.
Once they are all lined in the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese mix.
Bake at 180C for 15 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted.
