Best looking asparagus appetizer I’ve seen! Love this and adding it to my must-try recipes.
We usually make bacon wrapped asparagus but prosciutto is a fun twist (no pun intended!)
Just had these at a restaurant & they were delicious. Glad to see how to make them.
I make something like this too and they are a HUGE hit at parties. But I slightly boil my asparagus and then ice bath it first (parboil?) and then spread Borsin cheese (original garlic flavour) on the prosciutto before wrapping it on the cooled asparagus stalks. Then the whole thing goes in the oven on a cooking sheet.
If I’m taking them to a party I’ll leave them cold on the sheet and heat there.
If you want to make it as a side dish you can bundle 3-4 stalks before wrapping.
I brought these as an appetizer to a dinner party Saturday night and they were a huge hit. I love the idea of broiling and adding Borsin. The hardest part was getting the prosciutto to stick i a cohesive piece to the asparagus, and the cheese might solve that problem. I tried individual stalks and bundles of two. The bundles were harder to wrap but seemed more substantial. My asparagus were thin. I did the frying at home and warmed under the broiler at the party. With the cheese addition I’m sure you’d have to skip the frying.
Perfect! I was thinking along the same lines, you answered my subconscious questions.
Looks absolutely delicious!!!! I have some prosciutto now. We’ll have to try these. Tomorrow??
These prosciutto wrapped asparagus are to die for. Be prepared to have enough they will go fast.
Made these last night and they were a big hit! Thank you for the easy, non-dairy option. J’adore!
These are DELICIOUS!!! Have made them several times now. In the time it takes the proscuitto to crisp, the asparagus cooks to a perfect crisp tender. Love them as a “side dish” but they would be fabulous as an appetizer, too.
I was concerned that the asparagus wouldn’t be cooked through… so it is? Just making sure before I serve this as a “side” at my husband’s company dinner. THanks!
Wow how easy it is! I wanna try it 🙂 thank you
Just when I thought asparagus was already perfect…this is amazing.
I love how easy these are, and I know I could probably eat a dozen!!
Such a great app – I love little nibbles like these and this is such a great combination of flavours.
I like to spread some garlic cream cheese on the prosciutto before wrapping the asparagus:)
OMG these look amazing. I wanna drizzle a little truffle oil on there….yum!! So good. Definitely trying these.
I love this appetizer, so perfect for NYE!
What a great, quick appetizer! And so pretty.
So pretty and delicious! Happy New Year !
My family would love this!! These look so good!
