Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus


These are freaking yum!  Like yum yum!!  And super easy to make. If you've never tried to make these here's a quick low down on what to do. First buy yourself some Asparagus and Proscuitto. Now my Asparagus were the big thick ones but if you happen to buy the tiny ones it's ok. Just wrap like 2-3 asparagus with the Proscuitto instead of one. Fist things first. Toss the Asparagus in Olive Oil and place on a baking sheet. Lightly (& I mean LIGHTLY) salt them and then pepper them. Proscuitto is already salty so you don't want to over salt the asparagus.  Then take your pieces of Priscuitto and wrap them around the asparagus. The Proscuitto is very thinly sliced and tears easy so just be careful with it. Lay each piece on the baking sheet not touching each other. Now turn your broiler onto High. Your going to put these Asparagus under the broiler for 3 minutes. When the 3 minutes is up pull them out and using tongs just turn them all over. Then place back into the oven for 3 more minutes. Now just a warning people. I think it goes without saying here that everyone's Broiler is different.  SO.....  Please watch the asparagus those last 3 minutes. I would truly hate for you to burn your beautiful Asparagus because you gave it 3 minutes because I said so and it really only needed 2 minutes at the end. Fair?? Fair!!
Enjoy!
