Ham Asparagus Rolls

Ingredients

  • 12 slices of square cooked deli ham
  • 4 tablespoons prepared mustard
  • 36 fresh asparagus spears
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/4 cups grated medium cheddar
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion

Method

  1. Cook the asparagus by steaming or boiling until it is tender-crisp.
  2. Take each slice of ham and coat it with a layer of prepared mustard.
  3. For each ham slice, arrange three asparagus spears, placing the tips at opposite ends for a neat look and to help with rolling.
  4. Roll up each slice to encase the asparagus and position them in a casserole dish with the seam facing downwards.
  5. Place butter in a medium saucepan and melt it.
  6. Gradually mix in the flour, then pour in the milk.
  7. Continue to stir the mixture while cooking until it begins to boil.
  8. Incorporate the salt and black pepper.
  9. Add the grated cheddar cheese and stir until it melts, then mix in the sliced green onions.
  10. Give the sauce a final stir before pouring it evenly over the assembled ham rolls.
  11. Cover the dish and bake in an oven preheated to 350 F for 30 minutes, or until the contents are hot and bubbling.
