(from sweetcay’s recipe box)

You can also chop the prosciutto and sprinkle it on the phyllo. Make-ahead tip: Arrange assembled rolls on a baking sheet, coat with cooking spray, and cover; store in the fridge for up to four hours. Bake an hour or two before the party.

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 30 long, thin strips
  • 30 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 10 (14 x 9-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
  • Cooking spray

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°.

  2. Wrap 1 prosciutto strip around each asparagus spear, barber pole–style. Place 1 phyllo sheet on a work surface (cover remaining phyllo to prevent drying); coat phyllo with cooking spray. Cut crosswise into thirds to form 3 (4 1/2 × 9–inch) rectangles. Arrange 1 asparagus spear across 1 short end of each rectangle; roll up jelly-roll fashion. Arrange rolls on a baking sheet; coat rolls with cooking spray. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, asparagus, and cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes or until phyllo is golden and crisp. Serve warm or at room temperature.
