Asparagus rolls ups

I just tried a new recipe and tweaked it to make it a little healthier, and it was SO good, so I thought I would share.

I took asparagus and cooked them for 6 minutes in a frying pan with a little bit of water.

Then I took one package of low fat cream cheese (philadelphia of course) :) and cut up fresh chives (about 2 tablespoons for a whole package of cream cheese) mixed them together. I then had several slices up sandwich ham from the deli.

I took one slice of ham and laid it down, put two dollops of cream cheese on top, put the asparagus (now cooked a little, but still crispy) and put it on top of the cream cheese) and then rolled them up. They looked cute and were very tasty! The original recipe calls for bread and parmesan cheese, but I'm opting for no bread and less cheese. I'm going to serve these at a Caroling party I'm having tomorrow. I hope they're a hit!
