Cut each rolled spear into several pieces. (I'd suggest cutting at an angle to make it look more attractive.) The proportions of cream cheese/ham/asparagus are up to you. She used substantial asparagus--not the very thin ones. The possible variations are infinite. One could use goat cheese and roasted asparagus, some kind of herbed cheese like Boursin, and so forth. Her version was simple, but very good. |

I've made that with dill pepper spears instead of asparagus. Yummy!

The ham and asparagus uses to be popular years ago here but it was canned asparagus, no cream cheese and often just the pressed deli ham. Also popular used to be luncheon meat (like bologna style but way cheaper, lol) wrapped around cold mashed potato. |
