Ingredients
- 12 asparagus spears
- 6 slices thin prosciutto
- 1 tbsp almond meal/flour
- 30 g strong cheese grated/shredded finely
- 2 tbsp double/heavy cream
Instructions
-
Mix the strong cheese and almond meal/flour in a small cup.
-
Cut the bottom inch from the asparagus spears then place into a large saucepan.
-
Add enough boiling water to just cover the asparagus, bring to the boil for 2 minutes. You want the asparagus to remain slightly crunchy, but not raw, in the middle.
-
Remove from the heat and drain.
-
Place a prosciutto slice on a chopping board and place 2 asparagus spears diagonally on top.
-
Sprinkle a little of the cheese mix across the asparagus and drizzle with a little cream then roll up. Place in the baking dish.
-
Repeat with all the other prosciutto slices and asparagus spears.
-
Once they are all lined in the baking dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese mix.
-
Bake at 180C/350F for 15 minutes, or until golden and the cheese has melted.
