Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Goat Cheese

I am sure many of you are busy planning your Thanksgiving dinner, so I thought I’d give you a hand. This prosciutto wrapped asparagus is unbelievably delicious and simple to make. My additional secret ingredients are goat cheese and a touch of garlic. The combination of creamy goat cheese, crispy prosciutto and crunchy asparagus will knock your socks off!

I can’t even explain how easy and fast this is to make and it’s so fun for your guests to grab a bundle or two for their plates. I would say total prep time is a maximum of 10 minutes and bake time is 5 to 7 minutes and there are 4 ingredients! Plus, they make a visual and palate pleasing pop.

I prepared these on a Sunday afternoon hoping to have them for dinner, but they ended up being a late afternoon snack for the fams. They are that irresistible and will be a fantastic addition to any Thanksgiving dinner.
