Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Cheese I was looking for a different way to serve one of my favorite vegetables and this is it! Provolone cheese provides a mild flavor, but if you’d like a stronger flavor, use smoked Cheddar cheese.

Step 1

Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and briefly cook uncovered until just beginning to soften, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain and season with salt and pepper.

Place each wrapped asparagus bunch on the grill.
