This appetizer uses an aged dry-cured salty Italian prosciutto ham that is sliced very thin and served without cooking, 
the flavor combinations are wonderful with the addition of Boursin cheese and honey mustard.
The ham will also go great wrapped around cantaloupe or honeydew melon as well as Mozzarella for a delicious appetizer ...
the possibilities are endless for a wrapped hors d'oeuvre... try different combinations to serve to your guests.

Asparagus wrapped in Prosciutto
photograph created by www.finedinings.com



fresh Asparagus spears (do not use pencil size)
6 ounces sliced Proscuitto, cut in half lengthwise
5.2 ounce package
Boursin cheese, softened
1/4 cup honey mustard
freshly cracked black pepper

Snap tough ends off spears, peel one inch up from the bottom and trim into points for a gourmet presentation.  Put them in a deep skillet of boiling salted water for approximately 2 minutes or until tender crisp (al dente), poke with a sharp knife to test for doneness.  Do not overcook them.  Carefully drain, rinse with cold running water and blot dry on paper towels.

Put
prosciutto strips on a flat working surface, spread each strip with 1/2 teaspoon Boursin cheese, 1/4 teaspoon honey mustard and sprinkle with freshly cracked black pepper.  Lay one asparagus spear on top the Boursin cheese and mustard at a 90 degree angle, roll up, place the wrapped asparagus on a platter and serve.  

Wine recommendation:  Gewurztraminer
