Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus image

This recipe is from Paula Deen's son's. They adapted one of hers to be lighter. I made it tonite & it's pretty good.I have never used phyllo before, so it looks a little rough.

  • 3. Brush the top of the phyllo sheet evenly with 1 tablespoon of mustard. With sharp knife, cut layered sheets lengthwise in half then crosswise to make 4 rectangles.
  • 4. Top each rectangle with once cheese slice and one ham slice. Place two asparagus spears near the bottom of the rectangle and roll it up snugly like a cigar.
  • 5. Lightlyspray the rolls with non-stick spray and place, seam side down, on the baking sheet.
  • 6. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients to make 12 rolls total.
  • 7. Bake until rolls are lightly browned and crisp, 15-20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
