EASY HAM AND ASPARAGUS ROLL-UPS
Spargel mit Schinken is one of my husband's favorite German appetizers to prepare, tender asparagus is wrapped in prosciutto ham that has first been spread with seasoned cream cheese. These are always the first snacks to disappear when we entertain, and a favorite of guests! Any leftover prosciutto is also great wrapped around spears of fresh cantaloupe, so we usually buy a little extra to make some of those to serve alongside.

Steps:
- Wash and trim asparagus spears - save bottoms for another use if not too woody. Blanch briefly 2 min in boiling salted water and remove stalks to bowl of ice water to stop cooking process and retain crispness/color.
- Cream together cheese, horseradish, sugar, and spices to your personal taste. (Some like it lighter/sweeter and others like the full-on horseradish flavor!) Blend thoroughly with mixer until creamy.
- Drain and dry asparagus spears. Spread cream cheese mixture onto prosciutto slices in moderate layer, then place 2 asparagus spears across the width of ham slice. Roll up asparagus in cream cheese mixture to end of ham strip. Keep refrigerated until served. If you are finicky about uniform appearances, you can slice off the bottom of each with a sharp knife after refrigerating a while for exactly flat and matching edges (cook gets to eat the scraps!). These are colorful, quick and easy, and very unusual snacks to serve as many people have never tasted them before. The sweet, salty, and spicy elements blend together with the savory asparagus to make an explosion of mouth feel and flavor! Always a hit at our house, or when we take them to parties.

Steps:
- Thaw frozen rolls in a storage bag for about 1 1/2 hours. You don't want them to rise, just thaw.
- After the rolls are thawed (but not risen), stretch out each roll and lay it flat on a greased cookie sheet.
- Place a slice of ham on each roll.
- Then top with a slice of cheese.
- Place 3 pieces of pineapple chunks on top of cheese.
- Fold the dough over the toppings and pinch the edges together.
- Try to not have any holes in your dough, as your cheese will melt out of it.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and rub butter on top of the rolls.
- Let cool a few minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose thin asparagus stalks: Thicker stalks can be difficult to roll and may not cook evenly.
- Blanch the asparagus before wrapping: This will help to soften the asparagus and make it more pliable for rolling.
- Use a variety of fillings: In addition to ham and cheese, you can also use other fillings like cooked bacon, shredded chicken, or sautéed mushrooms.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the roll-ups, make sure to leave enough space between them so that they can brown evenly.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce are all great options.
Conclusion:
Ham and asparagus roll-ups are a delicious and versatile appetizer or main course that can be easily customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests.
