directions

Step 1

Trim the asparagus and “blanch” it by dropping it into salted, boiling water for 20 seconds. Remove the asparagus from the water and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.

Step 2

Spread out a slice of proscuitto and place 3 spears of asparagus on it.

Step 3

Add cheese to the asparagus (reserving ½ cup of cheese for topping) and wrap the prosciutto around it. Continue process until you have 6 bundles.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to medium high 375°F/190°C.

Step 5

Place the plank on the grill, close the lid and heat the plank for 4-5 minutes (or until the plank starts smoking).

Step 6

Reduce heat to medium low 325°F/160°C.

Step 7

Place the bundles on the plank and top with cheese, working quickly.

Step 8

Close the lid and cook until the cheese is melted and the prosciutto is starting to crisp around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from grill and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
