Ham Asparagus Rolls

~Leslie~'s Note:

This is a great way for me to get my daughter to eat a vegetable! Simple and fast this makes an elegant looking meal. I serve this on toast for lunch, or by itself with garlic bread is great as well. You can also make this with Grilled Ham Steaks, they are just not rolled up! Hope you like it as much as we do! From Company's Coming Cookbook.

I used this recipe as a start for my own breakfast creation. I wrapped the asparagus in ham and provolone. I served on sourdough toast with poached eggs, hollaindese sauce and capers.

This is a very good way to "disguise" veggies so you don't even know you are eating them. If you happen to like asparagus you should cut the sauce in half, the ham in half and the cooking time in half. Or better yet, steam or grill the asparagus until crisp-tender and just pour the sauce on top to serve.
