Ham, Egg, & Asparagus Breakfast Rollups (with Dijon Swiss Cheese Sauce)

I’m all about breakfast – it’s my favorite meal of the day. So, I guess it’s a pretty good thing that it’s also the most important meal of the day. Or at least, that’s what they say!

I’ve always been all about breakfast but my tastes sure have changed over the years. When I was younger, I wanted pancakes. Nothing else. Just pancakes. Or maybe waffles. Either way, breakfast at that point pretty much had to be covered in syrup. And I was perfectly happy with my syrup coated carbs.

Then I got older (it happens) – and my tastebuds changed (a long with a lot of other things, but that’s a blog post for another time! haha). And while I still really enjoy a good stack of pancakes, I’d much rather have a savory breakfast these days.

So, when I was given the opportunity to work with Michigan Asparagus on some recipe creation & me being on the savory breakfast kick that I am, I knew that I wanted to come up with something to satisfy those cravings.

I took tender Michigan Asparagus (their asparagus is hand snapped instead of cut y’all – that means less fibrous ends & more edible product!) – and paired it with my eggs & onions. Then, I wrapped it with ham slices – like little burritos. Then…. then… I poured a dijon swiss cheese sauce over top & baked it off.

Oh my.

Oh my my my…

It’s so, so good.

If you are like me & want to know where your food came from… then Michigan Asparagus is the spear you want to look for in the market. They are one of the only (and second largest) domestic production regions for US grown asparagus. That means fresher asparagus for consumers that isn’t coming from another country – grown right here in the USA!
