HAM AND ASPARAGUS ROLLS 
1 slice (4 to 5 inch diameter or square) ham
3 to 5 spears asparagus
Hollandaise sauce

(Above amounts are for one person.)

Slice ham 1/4 inch or less thick, cook asparagus spears until tender. Place asparagus spears in ham slice and roll up; fasten with toothpicks. Cover with Hollandaise sauce. Heat in oven at 325 degrees until hot, approximately 1/2 hour. Serve. May sprinkle with paprika. These are excellent, made ahead and frozen. May be heated in microwave.

ARLOA'S HOLLANDAISE SAUCE: (for 1 cup sauce):

1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. dry mustard
1 c. milk
1/2 c. grated Cheddar cheese
2 eggs

Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Blend in flour, salt, pepper and mustard. Stir in milk slowly and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook one minute. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, slowly add 1/2 cup of hot mixture to eggs one tablespoon at a time. Return egg mixture to hot mixture, beat. Return to heat, cook one minute. Add grated cheese and mix to blend.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
