Description

Bundles of Dijon vinaigrette-marinated asparagus are wrapped in prosciutto and topped with melted Brie in this elegant appetizer or side dish recipe.

Ingredients

1 pound thin asparagus spears, trimmed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
6 ounces sliced prosciutto
4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
3 tablespoons crushed walnuts

Directions

1 Place asparagus spears in a resealable plastic bag.
2 Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl until well combined; add to the bag with asparagus and distribute evenly. Marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
3 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4 Divide asparagus into 3-stalk bundles. Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthwise; lay on a cutting board. Wrap 1 piece prosciutto around each asparagus bundle to create 7 or 8 bundles; place bundles in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender, 14 to 16 minutes. Transfer baking dish to a wire rack; turn on the broiler. Place 1 Brie slice on top each bundle; sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
6 Broil until cheese begins to melt, about 1 minute.
