5.2 ounce package Boursin cheese, softened
1/4 cup honey mustard
black
pepper
Snap tough end off asparagus spears, peel and remove 3/4-inch from
bottom ends then trim to a point. Place asparagus in a deep skillet of
boiling salted water for approximately 2 minutes or until tender crisp (al
dente), test with the tip of a sharp knife. Carefully drain, rinse with
cold running water and blot dry with paper towels.
Open proscuitto packages, separate papered layers, cut each in half
lengthwise. Place cut prosciutto strips on a flat working surface,
spread with 1/2 teaspoon Boursin cheese, 1/4 teaspoon honey mustard and freshly cracked black
pepper. Place asparagus spears at a 90 degree angle at the short end of each
prosciutto strip and carefully roll up as tightly as possible. Place on
a platter and serve.
