ROASTED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with canola oil spray.
• Lay a slice of ham on a work surface. Place a stalk of asparagus perpendicular to the ham, with the tip of the asparagus just higher than the top edge of the ham. Roll the asparagus on a diagonal, tightly wrapping the ham around the stalk as you go. (The ham should cover the entire stalk except for about an inch on the top and bottom ends.) Repeat with the remaining asparagus and ham.
• Place the asparagus, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the tops with canola oil spray. Bake until the ham is crispy and the asparagus has softened and begun to char at the tips, about 15 minutes. Immediately pour the orange juice over the hot asparagus and season with salt. (The orange juice will almost completely evaporate on the hot baking sheet, but it will infuse the asparagus with orange flavor.)
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and garnish with the orange zest. Serve immediately.

OVERNIGHT ASPARAGUS BREAKFAST CASSEROLE WITH HAM

Steps:

• Rinse asparagus and snap off woody ends of the stems. Cut spears into 1-inch pieces.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus; cover and cook for 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add onion and red pepper. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Place bread cubes in a 9x13-inch baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle evenly with chopped ham, spoon on the cooked vegetables, and top with 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, basil, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over bread mixture in baking dish.
• Cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours.
• Bake uncovered at 350℉ for 45-55 minutes, until set and golden brown.
• Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes more, until cheese is melted.
• Allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.
• To break off the woody bottoms of the asparagus stems, just hold onto a spear of asparagus toward the bottom with both your hands. Bend the asparagus spear gently until it snaps. It will naturally snap apart at the best place to separate the woody end and tender tip. Or, just cut the spears with a knife, cutting where the green color fades if you'd prefer.
• If the asparagus is young and thin, you just need to trim off the very bottom of the spears -- no need to snap the spears because there's really no thick, woody part to them yet.
• I sometimes use a mixture of Swiss and Monterey Jack cheese, or a mixture of Swiss and mozzarella.
• It's important for this casserole to sit refrigerated for at least 12 hours. This allows the bread cubes to absorb the egg/milk mixture, and creates the casserole's fluffy texture when baked. I don't recommend short-cutting this step.
