Asparagus and Prosciutto Rolls

Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 8 mins
Makes: 24

12 slices prosciutto
24 asparagus spears
3.5 oz butter, melted
2 oz parmesan, grated
grated nutmeg
1 lemon

1.) Cut or tear each slice of prosciutto in half. Cut off the base of each asparagus spear. Bring a pan of lightly salted water to a boil, add the asparagus and cook for 1 minute, or until just tender.

2.) Drain the asparagus and pat dry. Combine the nutmeg and melted butter, add pepper to butter if desired. Brush asparagus with the melted butter. Sprinkle buttered asparagus with the grated parmesan. Wrap each asparagus spear in prosciutto.

3.) Brush an ovenproof pan with butter and place the wrapped asparagus in the pan. Sprinkle with any remaining parmesan, nutmeg, and black pepper to taste. Bake in 250 degree oven for 7-10 minutes - or broil in oven until golden brown.

** Rolls can be assembled up to six hours ahead, covered and refrigerated. Cook just before serving.
