Asparagus Ham Swirls

16 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
3 tbsp dijon mustard
16 slices fully cooked ham
16 slices processed swiss cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup dry bread crumbs
cooking oil

In a skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain well. Spread abotu 1 tsp mustard on each ham slice. Top with one slice cheese. Place an asparagus spear at one end (trim to fit). Roll up each ham slice tightly; secure with 3 toothpicks. Dip ham rolls in egg, then roll in breadcrumbs. In an electric skillet, heat oil to 350 degrees. Fry rolls a few at a time until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Cut each roll between the toothpicks into 3 pieces. Makes 4 dozen.
