Equipment

Ingredients

  • 24 fresh thin asparagus spears, washed and woody ends trimmed off
  • 4 slices deli ham cut in half
  • 1 8 oz can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 2 teaspoons mustard
  • 4 slices baby Swiss cheese cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons plain panko bread crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place washed and trimmed asparagus spears in a large skillet with 1/2 inch of water. Bring water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Asparagus will turn bright green and be tender but still crisp.
  • Remove asparagus from water and drain on a paper towel while completing next steps.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate the 8 triangles of dough. Spread a thin layer of mustard on one side of each triangle.
  • Place a halved slice of cheese lengthwise on each triangle.
  • Wrap a halved slice of ham around 3 asparagus spears and place them on the wide end of a crescent roll triangle. Roll into a crescent roll shape, starting at the wide end, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all remaining triangles.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and olive oil. Spoon the crunchy mixture onto the top of each crescent roll, gently pressing it into the dough.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve immediately.
