These pretty asparagus flowers are sure to impress as an appetizer or garnish. They are quite easy to make and may be served chilled or at room temperature.

You will need:
• Fresh asparagus, steamed until tender but still semi-crisp enough to hold shape (about 3 minutes steamed, depending on size).
• Prosciutto, ham, roast beef, chicken, turkey or other deli meat, shaved paper thin.
• Herbed cream cheese or neufchatel cheese. You can mix up your own or buy it pre-made.
