After tasting an asparagus appetizer at a lovely restaurant, I created my version of it to enjoy at home.
—MICHELE MERLINO EXETER, RI
START TO FINISH: 30 MIN. • MAKES: ABOUT 2 DOZEN
1/2 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
1 log (4 ounces) fresh goat cheese
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
1. Cut prosciutto slices in half; spread with cheese. Wrap a prosciutto piece around each asparagus spear; secure ends with toothpicks. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
2. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp, turning once. Discard toothpicks.
