Asparagus and ham is easy to prepare and quick to cook, and could be an excellent second course for vegetarian, as well as an aperitif for a dinner.
Asparagus are rich in vitamins, and also diuretic for our body. We suggest to eat hot, just from the oven. The recipe can be varied replacing ham with honey ham, or turkey breast. As well you can add some mozzarella, or slices or spreadable cheese.
If you are allergic to eggs, just replace with toasted bread. The just pairing is with a white winee, fruity and full-bodied.
