Zubereitung von Baked Asparagus Parcels
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears (find the breaking point on one spear to gauge length) and cut all to equal length.
- Boil asparagus in a pot of salted water for 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small frying pan over gentle heat. Add 2 chopped spring onions and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay out 12 slices of thinly sliced ham. Divide the spring onion and mustard mixture evenly among the ham slices.
- Place 3 asparagus spears on each ham slice. Roll up tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange the ham parcels in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup heavy cream over the parcels and sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the asparagus is tender.
