Holiday season! Here’s a recipe that was printed in our Christmas holiday recipe section in last year’s program from our women’s banquet. Elaine makes the best party food!
Recipe: Ham and Asparagus Rolls
Ingredients
12 asparagus spears, washed and dried
1/2 cup melted butter, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 pkg phyllo dough, thawed
6 slices deli ham, cut in half
1/4 cup goat cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, line baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut asparagus into 3-inch spears. Combine asparagus, 2 tablespoons butter, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to coat, set aside. Cut ham.
Carefully unroll phyllo sheets onto smooth, dry surface. Keep phyllo covered with slightly damp cloth to avoid drying out. Cut 36 12×12-inch strips. To assemble, brush 1 phyllo strip with melted butter; place another strip on top and brush with melted butter; repeat with 3rd strip and brush with melted butter.
Place folded ham strip near end of phyllo strip; sprinkle with goat cheese, place one asparagus spear horizontally on top. Starting at end of strip, carefully roll in jellyroll fashion, enclosing asparagus, ham, and cheese at beginning of roll. Finish by brushing with melted butter and place on prepared pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Bake 20 minutes until lightly browned. Serve immediately.
