ASPARAGUS AND HAM BUNDLES

Category: Hot

1 sheet puff pastry, about 12 inchx12 inch
1 (10 oz) box frozen asparagus spears or 1 pd fresh, steam until tender-crisp
Thinly sliced ham or prosciutto

Cut the pastry into 1 inch wide strips. Place 2-3 asparagus spears on ham slice, roll up jelly-roll fashion. Spiral puff pastry around ham roll. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes until pastry is puffed and browned. Serve at once. Variation: After steaming the asparagus, return to skillet and coat with lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil. Remove bundles of several spears at a time from pan and wrap with sliced prosciutto. Pile assembled bundles on a serving place.
