Good olive oil
2 tbs unsalted butter

2 ounces sliced Prosciutto
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400º

Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tbs salt, and bring to a boil. Immerse the asparagus in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the asparagus and put them immediately into a large bowl of ice water to set the bright green color. Allow to chill for 2-3 minutes. Drain and pat asparagus dry.

Gather 6-8 asparagus spears into a bundle with the tips together, and wrap a slice of prosciutto securely around the middle. Repeat to make 6 bundles. Brush a rectangular baking dish with 1½ tbs of olive oil. Place the bundles seam side down in the baking dish, arranged side by side with the tips facing in the same direction.

In a small sauce pan melt the butter with 1½ tbs olive oil. Drizzle it over the bundles. Sprinkle with ¾ tsp salt, ½ tsp pepper, and the Gruyere cheese and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the butter is sizzling and the cheese melts and starts to brown. Serve hot.
