asparagus ham swirls

In a skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain well. Srpead about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each ham slice. Top with one slice of cheese. Place an asparagus spear at one end (Trim to fit, if needed) . Roll up each ham sliced tightly, secure with three toothpicks. Dip ham roll in egg, then roll in bread crumbs. In an electric skilet, heat 1 inch oil to 350 F. Fry rolls a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm. Cut each roll between the toothpicks into three pieces. Yield: 4 dozen. MC formatting by bobbi744@...
