Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 18 spears asparagus trimmed
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 ounce cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Drizzle a sheet pan with olive oil.
  • Lay the prosciutto out flat and smear each piece with a thin layer of cream cheese.
  • Place a bundle of 3 asparagus spears in each piece of prosciutto and roll up. 
  • Place each bundle seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 12 minutes, shaking the pan once halfway through cooking to turn the bundles. 
  • Serve hot or at room temperature.

Notes

When trimming asparagus, take one piece of asparagus and bend near the end until it breaks. This is the amount that you'll want to trim off. You can use that single piece as a 'template' for trimming the rest easily and quickly.
