 Categories: Appetizers, Ham, Vegetables, Cheese, Sauce
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      8    Thick asparagus spears
      8 sl Ham; (not too thin)
      2 tb Flour
      2 tb Butter
    1/2 c  Milk
    1/2 c  Swiss cheese; grated
    1/4 c  Parmesan cheese; grated
      1 tb Onion -OR-
      1    shallot; chopped
      1    Egg yolk
    1/2 c  Cream
           Salt and pepper and nutmeg
 
  Peel asparagus and cook for 5-6 minutes in water. Add salt. Drain
  carefully not to break tips. Roll one asparagus in each slice of
  ham. Place rolls in a buttered baking dish. Set aside.
  
  Melt butter and cook chopped onions until they're soft. Add flour
  to make a roux about 2 minutes. Let it cool down a little. Bring
  it back to the heat and stir in milk until it thickens. Add cream,
  stir and let cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and
  nutmeg.
  
  Remove from the heat, and add the egg yolk, stirring well. Stir in
  the grated Swiss cheese. Spoon the sauce over the asparagus roll,
  sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top, and bake for 20 minutes.
