Filo-Wrapped Asparagus & Prosciutto Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 garlic cloves
• 55 g butter
• 8 asparagus spears
• 55 g parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 sheets phyllo pastry
• 8 slices parma ham
• black pepper

Directions

1. 1

   1. Pre-heat the oven to 200 degreese Celsius Crush and finely chop the garlic and put it with the butter in a small pan over a low heat. Heat it until the butter has melted - be careful! Butter burns very easily, as does garlic.

   4. Brush a sheet of filo with the flavoured butter, double it over and sprinkle it with parmesan and freshly ground black pepper. Lay a slice of Parma Ham on top, then place an aspargus spear across and roll the filo pastry around it. Brush the roll with more butter, cut off the ratty ends to tidy it up, then cut the filo-wrapped asparagus diagonally into 5cm lengths and place on a sheet of greaseproof paper on a baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the asparagus, filo and parma ham.
