Ham & Asparagus Roll-Ups

Prosciutto, the Italian air-cured ham, can be rather pricey when not on sale. You will save money if you substitute thinly sliced honey-baked ham found in the deli section.

Ingredients

25 asparagus spears

1 1/2 Tbsp Dijon mustard

25 thin slices of prosciutto or ham

Makes 25 appetizers

Directions

1. Trim about 2 inches off ends of asparagus.

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add asparagus; return to a boil. Cook for 1 minute longer. Drain asparagus in a colander. Pour cold water over asparagus to stop cooking.

3. Spread a small amount of mustard over one side of each prosciutto slice.

4. Place asparagus spear over short end of each prosciutto slice; roll tightly. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a serving platter.
