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.
