Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Neufchatel Cheese.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 450°F (230°C), setting the stage for a delicious treat.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your slices of prosciutto and spread a delightful thin layer of Neufchatel cheese over each one.

This creamy layer will add a wonderful richness to your dish.
Step 4
Next, grab 2 or 3 fresh asparagus spears and wrap them snugly with the prosciutto, making sure the cheese is tucked inside for a burst of flavor with every bite.

Once you’ve wrapped all your asparagus, arrange them in a single layer on a medium baking sheet, giving them a little space to breathe.

Now, it’s time to pop them into the oven! Bake for about 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them as they transform into a tender, crispy delight.
Step 7
You’ll know they’re ready when the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto has taken on a lovely, slightly crispy texture.
