HAM AND ASPARAGUS BUNDLES WITH HOLLANDAISE SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk sauce mix and milk together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add butter. Bring to a boil, stirring until melted and smooth. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 1 minute. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook asparagus for 3 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Transfer to a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
• Wrap a slice of ham around 4 asparagus spears and place on a serving tray. Repeat with remaining asparagus and ham. Drizzle hollandaise sauce over the asparagus bundles and garnish with dill.

ASPARAGUS AND HAM CRESCENT BUNDLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
• Remove woody ends from asparagus spears; discard. In 10-inch skillet, heat 1/2 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; simmer 2 to 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Plunge asparagus into bowl of ice water to cool; drain on paper towels.
• Cut ham slices in half; wrap one half slice around middle of 3 asparagus spears. Repeat for remaining ham and asparagus spears.
• On large cutting board, unroll dough; separate dough into 8 triangles. Crumble and press a generous tablespoon Boursin™ cheese onto bottom wide end of dough. Place one asparagus and ham bundle on wide end of dough, and roll dough into crescent shape; place on cookie sheet. (Ends of asparagus will stick out of both ends of dough.) Repeat for remaining bundles.
• In small bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and olive oil; mix well. Sprinkle on top of crescent dough, pressing lightly to stick.
• Bake 14 to 19 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to serve. Serve immediately.

BETTER SWISS CHEESE, HAM, AND ASPARAGUS BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine stuffing and hot water in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
• In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, melt butter. Once melted, sprinkle flour over the top and whisk to combine.
• Continue to whisk for a minute, allowing the flour mixture to cook a little. Then add the milk, all at once, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Once all of the milk has been incorporated, bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
• Add a pinch each of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Then add, a handful at a time, the cheese. Whisk in each addition until it is completely melted and then add the next handful (there should be plenty of heat in the mixture to melt all of the cheese).
• Wash asparagus and snap woody ends off (or trim bottom 2 inches off). Cut the rest into 2 inch pieces. Place in a 9"x13" baking dish along with the ham. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and stir to combine. Top with the stuffing.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350F or until golden brown and bubbly.

ASPARAGUS, HAM, AND CHEESE MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In a small bowl stir together Parmesan and mayonnaise. Trim asparagus to fit bread and arrange asparagus in a skillet just large enough to hold it in one layer. Add 1/2 inch salted cold water and cook asparagus, covered, over moderately high heat 5 minutes, or until just tender. In a colander drain asparagus well.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet and butter top of each slice. Broil bread about 6 inches from heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and arrange ham on each slice, folding or trimming to fit if necessary. Arrange asparagus on ham and spread with Parmesan mixture. Broil sandwiches about 3 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

ASPARAGUS BUNDLES WITH HOLLANDAISE

Steps:

• Cook fresh asparagus in boiling water 1 minute (spears should be 4 inches long).
• Cut puff pastry into four 5 inch squares. Brush lightly with some of the butter. Place one cheese slice atop 1 ham slice; top with 1/4 of asparagus. Wrap a pastry square around an asparagus bundle. Seal edges and seams well. Place seams side down in a shallow baking pan, so sides do not touch. Brush with remaining butter.
• Bake, uncovered, at 425 degrees for 18-20 minutes, until golden.
• Meanwhile, prepare sauce according to directions. Serve with bundles.
