  • Prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 8 tsp finely grated parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil

Preparation

  1. Preheat the Memphis to 350 F

  4. Place 1 tsp of finely grated parmesan cheese on top of the band of prosciutto ham. Brush the asparagus stems and tops lightly with olive oil. The picture above shows the prepared asparagus bundles ready for baking in the Memphis Wood Pellet Grill.
