Recipe information

  • Total Time

    40 min

  • Yield

    Makes 18 to 20 hors d'oeuvres

Ingredients

1 lb medium asparagus (18 to 20)
1/2 teaspoon white-truffle oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
9 or 10 large thin slices prosciutto (1/3 lb)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Prepare a large bowl of ice and cold water. Trim asparagus to 5 inches long, then steam in a steamer over boiling water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer to cold water to stop cooking. Drain and pat dry. Season with salt.

    Step 2

    Stir oil into butter until incorporated.

    Step 3

    Cut prosciutto slices into roughly 3- by 3-inch pieces, then thinly coat with truffle butter and place an asparagus stalk at one edge. Roll up, leaving tip and end visible. Repeat with remaining asparagus and prosciutto.
