How to Make Asparagus Rollups
- Snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears. Use a vegetable peeler to remove any tough scales from the stalks, if desired.
- Steam the asparagus in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4-6 minutes, or until crisp-tender.
- Remove asparagus from steamer and let cool completely on paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces cream cheese, 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (or to taste), 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Mix until smooth.
- Roll out 12 slices of white bread using a rolling pin to flatten slightly.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each bread slice.
- Top each bread slice with 1 thin slice of cooked ham (approx. 2 ounces total).
- Place 2 asparagus spears on top of the ham on each bread slice.
- Carefully roll up the bread slices, tucking in the filling.
- Place the rollups seam-down in a greased baking dish.
- Brush the top of each rollup with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
- Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon paprika.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives (optional).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
