Ingredients
- 12 sheets Athens® Phyllo Dough (9” x 14”), thawed
- 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, seasoned
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- Cooking Spray
- 2 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced, halved
- 36 asparagus spears, medium, trimmed
Directions
Thaw one roll of phyllo, following thawing instructions on package. Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll and cover the sheets with a damp towel or plastic wrap to prevent drying out.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
Place one sheet of phyllo on work surface and lightly coat ½ of the sheet with cooking spray lengthwise. Fold sheet in half lengthwise and spray top layer. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon of the bread crumb mixture on the top layer. Place 1 piece of prosciutto about 1” from the short edge of the phyllo. Place 3 spears of asparagus on top of the prosciutto. Roll the phyllo over the asparagus to create a bundle. Place bundle on a baking tray seam side down. Lightly spray the outside. Sprinkle with bread crumb mixture to garnish. Re-roll unused sheets and follow storing instructions on package. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the phyllo is a light golden brown and asparagus in tender. Serve.
