Ingredients

32 green asparagus
8 slices of Black Forest ham or maple smoked ham

For the cheese sauce:

60 ml (1/4 cup) of butter
60 ml (1/4 cup) of flour
500 ml (2 cups) of milk
2.5 ml (1/2 teaspoon) of ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper, to taste
125 ml (1/2 cup) of Gruyère cheese, grated

Preparation

Side-by-side mode

Cook asparagus in salted boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.
Cool down right away in cold water and roll with paper towels. Set aside.
In a casserole, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring.
Pour the milk in gradually while stirring with a whisk. Bring to a boil, whisking continuously, until the béchamel thickens. Remove from heat and add nutmeg, seasoning and cheese. Stir until the cheese melts.
When making asparagus rolls, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Divide asparagus into groups of four. Roll each bunch of asparagus with a slice of ham.
Set the rolls in a gratin plate and pour the cheese sauce over.
Gratin in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
