Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
- Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.
- Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
- Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
- Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Clarify butter by melting it in a very small pot or metal container over low heat and scooping out the foam that rises. Then, spoon off the clear butterfat to a clean bowl or container, being careful not to disturb the water or milk solids at the bottom. The clear portion is clarified butter. Set this aside briefly in a warm place. Combine the egg yolks, lemon juice, white pepper, and salt in a blender and process at high speed for about 60 seconds. Leaving the blender running, pour the clarified butter through the feed opening of the blender in a slow steady stream and mix until thickened. Pour into a shallow plate. Dip each asparagus spear into the sauce so that three-fourths of the stick is covered to hold prosciutto in place, then wrap a slice of prosciutto over the sauce on each asparagus spear, leaving a dry end for guests to serve themselves.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
I came up with this dish last night while looking for a prosciutto wrapped asparagus recipe. I prefer to roast my asparagus and I don't care for raw prosciutto, so here's my creation! I wouldn't salt the asparagus because the prosciutto is salty enough. Feel free to season the asparagus with whatever you like: thyme, rosemary, etc. This doesn't just have to be a side dish, it could be finger-food too!

A Great Appetizer or side. My roasted asparagus recipe below do have salt I do suggest to go easy or omit it in the roasting as the prosciutto is salty. This is great at room temperature so it can be prepared ahead of time. Or make with left over asparagus.

Tips:
- Select asparagus spears that are fresh, firm, and have tight tips. Thicker spears are easier to wrap and hold the prosciutto better.
- Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends. You can also use a knife to cut off about 1 inch from the bottom of each spear.
- Use high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a nice marbling of fat.
- Make sure the truffle butter is softened before using. You can soften it in the microwave or by letting it sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Wrap the asparagus spears tightly with the prosciutto. Overlapping the prosciutto slightly will help to keep it in place.
- Bake the asparagus spears at a high temperature until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- Serve the asparagus spears immediately with additional truffle butter, if desired.
Conclusion:
Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus with truffle butter is an easy and delicious appetizer or side dish. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a special dinner party. With its salty, savory, and earthy flavors, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
