    Asparagus Rollups

    Source of Recipe

    Southern Living

    List of Ingredients

    24 fresh asparagus spears
    1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1 (4-ounce) package crumbled blue cheese
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
    12 bread slices, trimmed
    12 thinly sliced deli ham slices
    1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
    Paprika

    Garnishes: green onion curl, red bell pepper

    Recipe

    Snap off tough ends of asparagus, and remove scales from stalks with a vegetable peeler, if desired.

    Arrange asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove from steamer, and cool on paper towels.
    Stir together cream cheese and next 3 ingredients.
    Roll each bread slice with a rolling pin to flatten.
    Spread 1 side of each slice with 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture; top each with 1 ham slice.
    Place 2 asparagus spears, tips pointed toward opposite ends, on 1 end of each bread slice; roll up, and place, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet.
    Brush with butter; sprinkle with paprika.
    Bake at 400° for 12 minutes or until golden. Serve immediately.
    Garnish, if desired.

    Note: Freeze unbaked rollups up to 1 month in an airtight container. Thaw in refrigerator, and bake as directed.

    Yield: 12 appetizer servings
