This delicious recipe is finger food at its finest: So simple to prepare and such a tasty combination. Spreading a little bit of cream cheese down the center of each prosciutto slice before wrapping the blanched asparagus really puts the flavor over the top. All that's left to do is drizzle with good-quality balsamic vinegar and a few cranks of black pepper before serving. For even more convenience, this dish can be prepared up to a day before serving. Simply cover with a damp paper towel and wrap in plastic wrap. Garnish with the vinegar and pepper just before serving.
