Grilled Prosciutto Asparagus

By carvalhohm

After tasting an asparagus appetizer at a lovely restaurant, I created my version of it to enjoy at home.

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1 (4 ounce) loh fresh goat cheese
• 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat grill to medium heat.

Cut prosciutto slices in half; spread with cheese. Wrap a prosciutto piece around each asparagus spear; secure ends with toothpicks.

Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.

Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp, turning once. Discard toothpicks.
