Ingredients
  

For the Asparagus
  • 1 bunch Asparagus Select fresh, firm stalks for optimum crunch and vibrant color.
For the Filling
  • 8 oz Mozzarella Use part-skim mozzarella for a creamier texture while keeping it healthier.
  • 8 slices Prosciutto Opt for low-fat options to create a savory flavor without boosting the syn count.
Additional Suggestions
  • Balsamic Glaze Pairs beautifully with the flavors of the dish and adds a tangy kick.
  • Cheese Alternatives Consider substituting mozzarella with goat cheese or feta for a unique twist.

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Grill Pan

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and thoroughly drying the asparagus. Trim the tough ends of each stalk by cutting off about 1-2 inches.
  2. Lay one piece of prosciutto flat on a clean surface, then place a mozzarella stick at one end. Take 2-3 asparagus stalks and position them on top of the mozzarella. Roll the prosciutto tightly around the asparagus and cheese.
  3. While wrapping the asparagus, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat to about 375°F (190°C).
  4. Once the grill is hot, place the wrapped asparagus bundles directly onto the grill grates. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  5. Carefully remove the grilled asparagus bundles from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh right off the grill, but these grilled asparagus bundles can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the fridge.
