Ingredients

• 1 pound thin asparagus spears, trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 6 ounces sliced prosciutto
• 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 3 tablespoons crushed walnuts

Cooking Directions

1. Place asparagus spears in a resealable plastic bag.
2. Whisk olive oil, vinegar, and mustard in a bowl. Pour over asparagus in the bag and distribute evenly. Marinate for 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4. Divide asparagus into bundles of 3 stalks each. Cut prosciutto slices in half lengthwise and lay on a cutting board. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each bundle to create 7 or 8 bundles. Place bundles in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until asparagus is tender, 14 to 16 minutes.
