this appetizer is wrapped in an
aged, dry-cured salty Italian ham that is sliced
very thin and served without cooking, the flavor combinations are
wonderful,
the ham will also go great wrapped around cantaloupe or honeydew melon as well as Mozzarella cheese...
the possibilities are endless... try different combinations.

fresh Asparagus spears
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. Put 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. Carefully drain, rinse with
cold running water and blot dry on paper towels.
Put prosciutto strips on a flat working surface,
spread each with 1/2 teaspoon Boursin cheese, 1/4 teaspoon honey mustard,
sprinkle with freshly cracked black
pepper. Lay one asparagus spear on each prosciutto strip at a 90 degree angle,
roll up, place the wrapped asparagus on
a platter and serve.
