Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Bundles Recipes

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
• Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.
• Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
• Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
• Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Divide asparagus into bundles of 3 stalks each. Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthwise and lay on a cutting board. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each bundle to create 7 or 8 bundles. Place bundles in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Remove dish from oven and set oven to broil. Place 1 slice of Brie cheese on top of each bundle and sprinkle with crushed walnuts. Return to the oven and broil until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
• Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND ASPARAGUS CRUSTED BUNDLES

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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS BUNDLES WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO WITH SEASONED BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with 1/4 of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with the olive oil.
• Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once on a platter with the sliced ham.
• 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
• Pinch gray salt
• Freshly ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
• To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Tilt the pan and then add the minced garlic and saute briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)

• Mix goat cheese, basil, pine nuts, water and orange peel in small bowl to blend. Season with salt and pepper. Spread scant 1 teaspoon filling over each prosciutto strip. Arrange 2 asparagus tips atop filling at 1 short end of prosciutto. Roll up prosciutto, enclosing base of asparagus. Press to seal. Place on platter. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)
