8-12 slices prosciutto
8 oz goat cheese
dijon mustard
pepper
honey
red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions

Add a small dollop(1 tsp) of dijon mustard over top of the goat cheese. Sprinkle some pepper. Depending on the size of your asparagus, place between one to four spears and spiral the prosciutto around the asparagus, wrapping it fairly tight.
