Phyllo-Wrapped Asparagus And Prosciutto

2 garlic cloves

4 tbsp. butter

8 asparagus spears

8 sheets phyllo pastry

cup Parmesan cheese

Zinter Brown Dill-icious seasoning

8 thin slices of Prosciutto ham

1 lemon, for serving

Crush and mince the garlic, and saute in the butter in a small pan over low heat to let the flavour infuse. Pass through a fine strainer into a bowl (will be used to brush the phyllo).

Peel and trim the asparagus stalks.

Preheat the oven to 450F. Working with one sheet at a time (keep the remaining sheets under a damp cloth), spread out the phyllo, brush with the flavored butter, and double over. Sprinkle with parmesan and Dill-icious.

Lay a slice of ham on top, then place an asparagus spear across and roll up. Brush the roll with more butter, then cut it in 2-inch lengths, and put on a nonstick baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Bake 10 minutes until nicely golden. Serve hot or at room temperature, with a lemon quarter on the side.
