Delicious! I prepared as directed, except for the sesame seeds,could not find them. I know they would have added another layer of flavor and crispness. The wrapping was a little tedious for me, probably because I am not good at it LOL! I don't know if I would have the patience to do enough for an appetizer for a large dinner party, but if you have patience, these are well worth the time. I love the flavor that the crust and prosciutto add to the asparagus. It did take mine longer than 8 minutes to brown, but that may be my oven. I will have to get more asparagus soon to use with the remaining prosciutto and pie crust. Thanks for a delicious keeper Chef#284771!
