PARTNER POST: May 26 is National Pinot Grigio Day. We’re celebrating with Cavit Wines by sharing refreshing spring and summer recipes that pair perfectly with Pinot Grigio.
Wrapped in prosciutto, garlic-herb cheese, and dough and baked until golden, these wrapped asparagus bundles are appetizer perfection.
Asparagus bundles are a great appetizer because they are simple to make and satisfying without being overly filling. Asparagus bundles also pair perfectly with Pinot Grigio!
I love to use prosciutto but you could omit it to make them vegetarian. Boursin Garlic-Herb cheese is my favorite, but you could use any flavor. 
Cavit first introduced Pinot Grigio into the United States in 1977 and is excited to celebrate National Pinot Grigio Day on May 26. Pinot Grigio is ideal for the warmer months and this Memorial Day Weekend is the perfect time to kick off Pinot Grigio drinking season!

- Unroll crescent roll dough and lay it on the work surface. Lightly roll it out to 1/4 inch thickness.
- Spread cheese evenly over the dough using an offset spatula.
- Cut the dough into 1/8-inch wide strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

- Roll the wrapped asparagus in Parmesan cheese until coated.
- Place the asparagus on the prepared baking sheet.

Notes
- For easier handling, blanch the asparagus for 2 minutes before wrapping to slightly soften.
- Substitute another soft cheese like goat cheese for the Boursin if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese instead of Boursin Garlic-Herb cheese?
Yes, you can use any flavor of cheese you prefer, but Boursin adds a nice garlic-herb flavor that complements the asparagus well.
What should I do if I can’t find prosciutto for the wrapped asparagus bundles?
You can simply omit the prosciutto to make the dish vegetarian; the bundles will still be tasty with just the cheese and dough.
How do I know when the asparagus bundles are done baking?
The bundles are done when the dough is golden brown and the asparagus is tender, which typically takes about 15-20 minutes in the oven.
