Roasted Asparagus and Prosciutto image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fresh asparagus (not too thin)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large slices prosciutto
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 extra-large eggs
Easy Hollandaise Sauce, recipe follows
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
  • Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
  • Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.
  • Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND ASPARAGUS CRUSTED BUNDLES



Cheese, Prosciutto and Asparagus Crusted Bundles image

Want something that is great for every night but is amazing for dinner parties, holidays or a special event but very very easy. A few slices of prosciutto from your grocer's deli, some store bought crescent rolls and asparagus. Now if you want to get really special, buy a mix of white, green and sometimes you can find the red asparagus. I did this for a Christmas party and it was a hit. But if you can't get other colors, get green, that is just fine.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 5 bundles, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed (not the pencil thin)
crescent roll (1 can rolled out flat and press the cuts together, Pillsbury or any brand name, Pillsbury even makes)
6 slices prosciutto, thin sliced
3 ounces herb cheese spread (Boursin or any herb soft cheese)
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Asparagus -- Pre cook the asparagus just 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave just lay flat on a paper towel and cover with a damp paper towel. Just to get a head start.
  • Rolls -- Spread out the crescent rolls and press the pre cut seems together to form one large sheet. Cut in half top to bottom and then cup each half in 3 strips. Spread with some of the boursin or herb cheese. (Thin layer, not heavy).
  • Wrap -- 4-5 asparagus spears with prosciutto. I like to alternate the spears going in different directions to make sure they cook evenly. Then wrap in the strips of crescent rolls a spiral pattern around the asparagus and prosciutto. Make sure you leave the tips and the very ends open (a inch or more) but the rest should be wrapped with the crescent roll.
  • Bake -- Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave and brush with butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and bake in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
