How to Make Asparagus Ham Rolls
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of margarine over medium heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring continuously until the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens. Reduce heat to low.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until melted and smooth.
- Prepare the asparagus: Wash and trim 1 pound of asparagus, removing tough ends.
- Lay out 12 slices of cooked ham. Place 3 asparagus spears on each ham slice.
- Tightly roll up each ham slice and secure with a toothpick if needed.
- Arrange the ham rolls in an ungreased 13x9-inch baking pan.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the ham rolls.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the cheese sauce.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the ham is heated through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
