Prosciutto and asparagus cheese rolls

Babiche Martens

For these prosciutto and cheesy rolls, cook the asparagus well so it’s soft but hasn’t lost its vibrant green colour. These rolls must be served hot while the cheese is oozy.

½ tsp	Wholegrain mustard
1 sprinkle	Black pepper
8	Asparagus spears, cooked (Main)
8 slices	Prosciutto (Main)
2 Tbsp	Butter, softened
8 slices	Sandwich bread, crust removed

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 180. Place a cooling rack over a baking tray.
2. In a medium bowl combine cheese, mayonnaise, mustard and pepper.
3. Wrap each piece of asparagus with a pieceof prosciutto.
4. Butter one side of the bread, then turn over. On the other side spread some of the cheese mixture. Place a piece of asparagus on the diagonal. Roll corner to corner and secure with a toothpick.
