I got this recipe from Taste of Home several years ago when I was looking for something to do with canned Asparagus which I seemed to have had a huge abundance of for awhile.
Ham Asparagus Roll-ups
16 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
6 thin slices fully cooked ham
16 slices process Swiss cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
Vegetable oil (I actually use EVOO)
In a large skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain well. Spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each ham slice. Top with one slice of cheese.
Place an asparagus spear at one end (trim to fit if needed). Roll up each ham slice tightly; secure with three toothpicks. Dip ham rolls in egg, then roll in bread crumbs.
In an electric skillet, heat 1 in. of oil to 350°. Fry rolls, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm. Cut each roll between the toothpicks into three pieces. Serve hot or warm. These are SOOOO good! (I have a few other versions we have made, and while they are awesome, this is still by far my favorite!)
