Instructions

  1. Peel the asparagus. Bring the water to the boil with salt, sugar and butter. Carefully place the prepared asparagus bundles in the brew and - depending on the thickness of the stalks - boil white asparagus for 12-20 minutes, green asparagus for only about 10 minutes (the brew must not bubble). The asparagus should still be crisp, as prescribed. Drain well.
  2. Then place a slice of cheese on a slice of cooked ham. Place a stick of asparagus on top of the cheese and the ham, roll it up and secure it with a wooden skewer. Turn this roll in egg and then breadcrumbs. Then fry until golden brown in a pan and serve with new potatoes.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
