Ham Asparagus Rolls

My mom made these Ham Asparagus Rolls often growing up, usually as part of our Sunday dinner. They are so delicious! I love asparagus in all forms but wrapped in ham it’s absolutely fantastic!

We never ate it with a cheese sauce, since the boys in my family don’t like cheese, and I really can say I like these served with or without the sauce!
Fresh asparagus spears wrapped in thinly sliced ham, served with a cheesy bechamel sauce!

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• ▢ 24 fresh fresh asparagus spears
• ▢ 8 slices ham , thinly sliced and fully cooked

For the cheese sauce (optional):

• ▢ 1 Tablespoon butter
• ▢ 1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ▢ 3/4 cup milk
• ▢ salt and freshly ground black pepper , to taste
• ▢ 1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

 

Oven Method--(works well if cooking for a large group):

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add about 2 ½ cups of a water to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring water to a boil. 
• Add asparagus and blanch for only about 1 minute. Remove asparagus to a plate.
• Place 3 asparagus spears in each ham slice. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. (I usually cut the toothpicks in half and secure with half a toothpick.)
• Place rolls in a large casserole dish. Top with cheese sauce, if desired. 
• Bake for 20 minutes or until tender.

Saute Method--For a quick dinner:

• Add about 2 ½ cups of a water to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring water to a boil.
• Add asparagus and cook just until tender (about 3-4 minutes). Remove asparagus to a plate and empty water out of skillet.
  
• Place 3 asparagus spears in each ham slice. Roll up and secure with a toothpick. (I usually cut the toothpicks in half and secure with half a toothpick.)
  
• Place the large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to the large skillet over medium-high heat.
  
• Add ham wrapped asparagus to the pan and gently brown on all sides. Top with cheese sauce, if desired.
  

For the Cheese Sauce:

• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and whisk to form a thick paste (but don't let it brown). 
  
• Slowly whisk in milk and stir until smooth. Stir constantly for 3-4 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly.
  
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  
• Remove from heat and add grated cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
