This colorful veggie recipe happened by accident.  One evening, I didn’t have room on the grill for all the things I wanted to prepare, so I threw two of the dishes together and came up with this medley.  It goes great with any grilled meat.  This recipe is Diabetic Friendly!

I came across the recipe for this hot appetizer years ago and have made it with friends and co-workers.  Asparagus, ham and cheese combine into a fun finger food.

Asparagus Ham Swirls Recipe

Asparagus Ham Swirls

14 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed

3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard

16 thin slices fully cooked ham

16 slices process Swiss cheese

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup dry bread crumbs

Canola oil

 

In a large skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain well.  Spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each ham slice.  Top with one slice of cheese.

Place an asparagus spear at one end (trim to fit if needed).  Roll up each ham slice tightly; secure with three toothpicks.  Dip ham rolls in egg, then roll in bread crumbs.

In an electric skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350 F.  Fry rolls, a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.  Drain on paper towels; keep warm.

Cut each roll between the toothpicks into three pieces.           4 dozen
