Parmesan Asparagus Prosciutto Roll Ups Wsmoked Gouda Cheese Recipes

PARMESAN ASPARAGUS PROSCIUTTO ROLL-UPS W/SMOKED GOUDA CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In microwave-safe dish or pie plate, microwave butter until melted. In another shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and 1/3 cup of the parsley. In shallow dish, place flour. Coat breasts first with flour, then with butter, then with the parmesan breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat both sides. Place one slice prosciutto atop each chicken breast, lay 3 asparagus spears crosswise on short end of each breast; roll up tightly.
• Place seam side down in a single layer in a 13 x 9-inch glass or metal baking pan, leaving space between rolls. Press remaining crumb mixture onto rolls; drizzle any butter leftover from coating chicken over the rolls (see cooking tip). Bake for 30 min or until chicken is no longer pink inside and the coating is golden brown. Let stand 10 minute.
• Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce: Meanwhile, whisk flour into milk. Gradually stir milk mixture into small saucepan. Over medium heat simmer, whisking often, for about 5 min or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; add smoked gouda cheese and pepper. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
• Cut each chicken breast into 3 slices, fan pieces on dinner plate; drizzle with 2 tbsp gouda cheese sauce. Sprinkle with remaining finely chopped parsley. Serve with additional sauce.
• Chicken Tip: To flatten chicken breasts: Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound with rolling pin or mallet to about 1/4 to 1/8-inch (5 to 3 mm) thick.
• Asparagus Tip: To blanch asparagus, plunge spears into boiling water for 1 min; drain and quickly plunge into ice water or cold running water. Pat dry.

CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND ASPARAGUS CRUSTED BUNDLES

Steps:

• Asparagus -- Pre cook the asparagus just 1 1/2 minutes in the microwave just lay flat on a paper towel and cover with a damp paper towel. Just to get a head start.
• Rolls -- Spread out the crescent rolls and press the pre cut seems together to form one large sheet. Cut in half top to bottom and then cup each half in 3 strips. Spread with some of the boursin or herb cheese. (Thin layer, not heavy).
• Wrap -- 4-5 asparagus spears with prosciutto. I like to alternate the spears going in different directions to make sure they cook evenly. Then wrap in the strips of crescent rolls a spiral pattern around the asparagus and prosciutto. Make sure you leave the tips and the very ends open (a inch or more) but the rest should be wrapped with the crescent roll.
• Bake -- Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on a cookie sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. Melt the butter in the microwave and brush with butter. Sprinkle with parmesan and bake in a 400 degree oven for 14-16 minutes until golden brown.
