How to Make Asparagus Appetizer Roll Ups
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
- Immediately transfer the asparagus to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
- Roll out 1 (14.1 ounce) package of refrigerated pie crust to 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- Slice 3 ounces of prosciutto into long, thin strips, about 1/2 inch wide and 6 inches long.
- Starting at the tip of each asparagus spear, wrap a strip of prosciutto around it, spiraling down to the base.
- Wrap each prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spear with a pie crust strip, slightly overlapping the prosciutto.
- Place the roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush each roll-up lightly with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the asparagus is heated through.
- Serve warm as an elegant appetizer or side dish.
