Quick! Name your favorite vegetable!
If you said asparagus, then I’ve got a delicious recipe for you today!
I’d have to say that my favorite veggies are asparagus and mushrooms. Actually, if I’m being brutally honest, mushrooms come first, followed veeery closely by asparagus. And then broccoli, potatoes, corn, and so on. I’m not really picky when it comes to veggies, but I have an extreme love for the first two that I mentioned.
And it just so happens that the hubster loves asparagus too, so we eat a lot of that in our house. And that’s just fine by me!
Since we eat it quite often, I’m always testing out new ways to prepare it. From this Roasted Lemon Parmesan Asparagus, to the simple roasted kind, I love it all.
But, after making this Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Feta, I think I may have just found my new favorite way to eat it.
Fresh asparagus is wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, roasted to perfection and then topped with crumbed feta cheese. Salty, crispy and packed with flavor, this Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Feta makes an easy and delicious side dish!
There’s just something about prosciutto that makes it soooo good. It’s a meat that I hardly ever have, but when I do, I silently vow to eat it more. On sandwiches? It’s the best! In pasta? Give me some more! And wrapped around tender asapargus? Well that’s a winner for me. And you, too, if you love prosciutto.
And then comes the feta. Oh how I love feta. It’s savory, crumbly, and goes well with just about anything. Especially with asparagus and salty prosciutto. It definitely gives this veggie the perfect touch.
