Delicious Oven-Baked Potatoes

Ingredients

4 servings

1 (.9 ounce) package hollandaise sauce mix (such as Knorr®) 1 cup whole milk ¼ cup butter 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed 4 slices deli-style honey ham, sliced in half lengthwise ½ teaspoon freeze-dried dill

Instructions

Step 1

Start by whisking the sauce mix and milk together in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Once combined, add the butter and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring until everything melts and becomes smooth. Turn the heat down and let it simmer for about a minute, stirring now and then, until it thickens slightly. Set the sauce aside to cool a bit.

Step 2

Next, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes until tender but still crisp. Drain the asparagus and rinse it under cold water to stop it from cooking further. Pat the spears dry with some paper towels.

Step 3

Now, take a slice of ham and wrap it around 4 asparagus spears. Arrange the bundles on a serving platter, repeating until all the asparagus is wrapped. Drizzle the hollandaise sauce over the bundles and finish with a sprinkle of fresh dill for a nice touch.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps alongside a simple green salad or roasted baby potatoes for a complete meal. A glass of crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon pairs nicely and enhances the fresh flavors.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the hollandaise sauce separate and reheat gently before serving. Asparagus may lose some texture after reheating, so consider adding fresh vegetables if needed.
