Ingredients

• 12 pieces fresh asparagus spears
• 12 slices deli ham slices
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash the asparagus spears and trim the woody ends off the bottoms. Ensure the spears are roughly the same length for even cooking.

Step 3

Bring a pot of water to a boil and blanch the asparagus for 2 minutes. Immediately transfer the spears to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Lay out a slice of deli ham on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture evenly across the ham slice.

Step 6

Place one asparagus spear at the edge of the ham slice and roll it up tightly. Repeat this step with the remaining ham slices and asparagus spears.

Step 7

Arrange the ham asparagus rolls in the prepared baking dish, seam side down.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the rolls with a thin layer of olive oil and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the ham is slightly crisp at the edges.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
