- Spread cream cheese mixture over each halved prosciutto slice.
- Wrap 2-3 spears of asparagus in a slice of prosciutto with the cream cheese side touching the asparagus.
- Place asparagus bundles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, then spray lightly with cooking spray.

Notes
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle some pepper or parmesan cheese on top before baking.
