BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH TOMATOES AND TALEGGIO CHEESE
Mike came up with this recipe during the first dinner we cooked together in our brand-new apartment! We were inspired by a similar dish we've had at an Italian restaurant, but used it as a side dish instead of an antipasti plate, and substituted the prosciutto with bacon. The cheese, a relatively mild cow's milk cheese, should be relatively easy to find because of its increasing popularity. Super easy to make, and super tasty!

BACON WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the asparagus spears into 8 bundles. Wrap each bundle in the middle of the spears with one piece of bacon. Place the bundles seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bake until the bacon is fully cooked, about 25 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir. Cook until the mixture is golden brown and has a nutty aroma, about 1 minute. Stir in the mustard powder, onion powder, nutmeg and remaining 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the milk a little at a time and continue cooking and whisking until the mixture thickens, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese until melted, then take off the heat.
- Carefully transfer the bacon bundles to a serving platter. Pour the cheese sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with the fried onions. Serve warm.

Steps:
- Tenderize steaks with a meat tenderizer. Rub steaks with your favorite steak seasoning (I like to use a greek seasoning blend). Lay out flat on cookie sheet and drizzle heavily with balsamic vinegar. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
- Trim asparagus to 4-5 inches in length. Divide steaks into 3 oz pieces, large enough to hold approx 3 asparagus spears each. Divide goat cheese into 1/2 ounce servings.
- Place 3-4 trimmed asparagus spears and 1/2 oz of goat cheese in center of each steak. Roll steak to seal in asparagus and cheese. Wrap each beef roll with 1-2 slices of uncooked beef bacon. Place toothpick through seam to help hold bacon on while cooking. Place wrap, seam side down, on broiler pan. Bake in oven on 350F for 30 - 35 minutes.
BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

Steps:
- Heat the grill to high. Lay the bacon on a baking tray in a single layer and grill for 8-10 mins until starting to crisp at the edges. Leave to cool. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
- Meanwhile, unroll the pastry sheet and cut into six squares. Pile a small mound of the cheese in the centre of each square, reserving some of the cheese for scattering over later. Trim the woodier ends of the asparagus spears so each one is about 10cm long. Place four spears diagonally across each mound of cheese. Chop the bacon into small pieces and sprinkle over.
- Working with one pastry square at a time, fold the two corners not covered by the asparagus into the centre and pinch the ends together gently to seal. Repeat with the remaining squares, then scatter over the reserved cheese. Can now be frozen for up to three months.
- Transfer the puffs to a baking tray lined with baking parchment and bake for 20-25 mins (or 35 mins from frozen), or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Wrap 2 asparagus spears with a slice of prosciutto. Place spears on baking sheet. Drizzle olive oil on the tips and ends of the asparagus (avoiding the prosciutto). Roast for 8-10 minutes, until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto becomes crispy.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Philadelphia Cooking Cream with the water. Microwave on medium setting for 45 seconds. If you can't find the Philadelphia Cooking Creme, feel free to omit (the Crispy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus is great as-is!) or substitute with 1/4 cup Philadelphia Cream Cheese mixed with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise + 2 tablespoons water and your favorite chopped fresh herbs.
- Plate the asparagus and drizzle the Philadelphia Cooking Cream over the asparagus. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears will hold up better to wrapping and grilling.
- Blanch the asparagus before wrapping: Blanching will help the asparagus cook evenly and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Taleggio is a great choice, but you can also use other soft cheeses like brie or fontina.
- Add other vegetables: For a more flavorful dish, add other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, zucchini, or mushrooms to the skewers.
- Cook the skewers over medium heat: This will help prevent the bacon from burning and the asparagus from becoming overcooked.
Conclusion:
Bacon Wrapped Asparagus Spears with Tomatoes and Taleggio Cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook asparagus, give this recipe a try.
