Extremely easy and elegant appetizer. Asparagus spears are wrapped in a sheath of prosciutto, then baked until crispy. A great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.

Time 20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 tablespoon olive oil
16 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
16 slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.
  • Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the grissini will taste. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a good flavor. Use a flavorful cheese, such as Parmesan or Asiago. And use fresh herbs, such as rosemary or thyme.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the grissini tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together. Then, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough, the crispier the grissini will be. Roll the dough out to about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Don't crowd the grissini on the baking sheet. Leave some space between the grissini so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the grissini until they are golden brown. The grissini are done baking when they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 10-12 minutes.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-wrapped grissini are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make these delicious treats that are sure to impress your friends and family.
