Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Yesterday I made these amazing prosciutto cups with veggies and a baked egg that I found on Deliciously Organic, one of the blogs that I regularly look at. I had some prosciutto left over so I decided to make prosciutto wrapped asparagus to go alongside the eggs benedict that I made tonight! If you are in a rush, this is a great side to prepare because it takes literally five seconds to prepare and then you can just stick it in the oven to cook! I had some of the honey Dijon mustard dressing left over from the eggs benedict and it ended up pairing really well with the asparagus.

Ingredients  
  • 4 slices prosciutto (I buy the packaged kind)
  • 1/2 bunch  asparagus 

Honey Dijon Mustard Dressing

  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Directions
  1. Wash the asparagus thoroughly and cut off the bottom half inch from each stalk. I prefer thin asparagus, but if you are using the thicker stalks you may want to use a vegetable peeler to remove some of the tougher skin towards the bottom of each.
  2. Wrap about 4 or 5 stalks with a slice of prosciutto.
  3. Place each bunch on a foil lined pan and bake for about 20-30 minutes, until the asparagus is tender.
  4. Top with Honey Dijon Mustard Dressing.
