Appetizer: Prosciutto/Asparagus Wraps

Prep/Cook Time: About 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
32 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
16 slices prosciutto

Cream cheese (aloutte or Neufchatel cheese may also be used)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil. Slice prosciutto slices in half and smear with cream cheese. Wrap ½ slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.
