Ham Asparagus Swirls

== Description ==
This is a recipe I wrote in 1994. I had these ingredients on hand and put it together. It is a fabulous appetizer and one I serve at a lot of my catering events. 
== Ingredients ==
* 16 fresh asparagus spears trimmed
* 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
* 16 thin slices smoked Ham
* 16 slices Swiss cheese
* 2 eggs beaten
* 1 cup Italian dry bread crumbs
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
== Directions ==
# In a skillet cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender and drain well. 
# Spread about 1 teaspoon of mustard on each Ham slice. 
# Top with one slice of Cheese. 
# Place an asparagus spear at one end. 
# Roll up each Ham sliced tightly, secure with three toothpicks. 
# Dip Ham roll in egg then roll in breadcrumbs. 
# Fry rolls in oil a few at a time, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. 
# Drain on paper towels; keep warm. 
# Cut each roll between the toothpicks into three pieces.
