This easy but elegant dish makes a great appetizer, and each bundle is one perfect serving.
Ingredients
- 24 thin asparagus spears
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 prosciutto slices
How to Make It
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Trim the asparagus spears of their woody ends, put them on a plate, and rub with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Season well.
- Lay a slice of the prosciutto on a board and put one-quarter of the asparagus spears in the middle. Carefully wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus to make a neat parcel, leaving the tips exposed. Lay it on a baking sheet with the seam of the meat facing down. Repeat to make 4 parcels. Brush the prosciutto with the remaining olive oil.
- Bake at the top of the hot oven for 15 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus cooked through. Serve as is, or with a Hollandaise sauce or a poached egg.
