Ingredients

8 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
2 tablespoons water
2 veal cutlets (6 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
2 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham

Flatten veal to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a small skillet, saute garlic in oil. Add veal; brown for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer to an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. In the pan drippings, saute mushrooms until tender; spoon over veal. Top each with four asparagus spears and a slice of prosciutto. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until juices run clear. Yield: 2 servings.
