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...

Steps:
- 1. 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.
- 2. 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.
- 3. 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.

[email protected]Meh. I thought these were just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me, and the rolls were a little dry. I won't be making these again.

[email protected]These were so easy to make and so yummy! I used reduced-fat cream cheese to make them a little lighter, and they were still very satisfying. Definitely a keeper!

[email protected]Not bad! I'm not a huge fan of asparagus, but I thought these were pretty good. The ham and cheese were a nice touch. I might try making them with a different vegetable next time.

[email protected]These roll-ups were a breeze to make and turned out so tasty! I used a low-carb tortilla to make them a little healthier, and they were still delicious. Will definitely be making these again!
