Ingredients:

Serving

20 asparagus spears
20 slices prosciutto, paper thin
salt and pepper
8 oz cabrales cheese, at room temperature
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 oz heavy cream
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper (or more (the pepper taste is crucial)
1 tbsp honey
1 cup hazelnuts (or almonds or macadamias)

Directions:

For the asparagus:.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil; fill a bowl with ice water. Wash and snap off the ends of the asparagus.
Place asparagus in the boiling water and cook until tender, about two or three minutes.
Immediately submerge asparagus in ice water; when thoroughly chilled, remove from icee bath, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
Wrap proscuitto slices around the asparagus (don't over do-the ham should complement th asparagus, not overwhelm it).
For the Mousse:.
Put the cheeses, cream, pepper and honey in food processor and pulse until everything is incorporated and smoothly whipped.
Lightly toast the nuts in a 300 degree F oven.
Assemble the dish by attractively stacking five of the asparagus on each of four serving plates. Spoon mousse around the stalks. Sprinkle with hazelnuts.
