Method
Preparation of Asparagus
- 1
Trim and Blanch the Asparagus
Start by trimming the woody ends off the asparagus. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, and once boiling, add the asparagus. Blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture

Assemble the Rolls
Lay out a tortilla or rice paper on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the wrap. Place 1-2 slices of prosciutto or ham on top, then arrange 2-3 stalks of asparagus on one end of the wrap. Roll tightly from the end with the asparagus to the other end, ensuring that the filling is enclosed.
