8 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed |
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls |
1 carton (8 ounces) spreadable chive-and-onion cream cheese |
4 thin rectangular slices deli ham |
2 tablespoons butter, melted |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus in a skillet; add 1/2 in. of water. Bring to a boil. Reduced heat; cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Separate crescent dough into four rectangles; seal perforations. Spread cream cheese over each rectangle to within 1/4 in. of edges. Top each with ham, leaving 1/4 in. uncovered on one long side. Place two asparagus spears along the long side with the ham; roll up and press seam to seal.
