For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the asparagus lightly before wrapping it in ham. If you're making the hollandaise sauce from scratch, be sure to use a double boiler to prevent curdling. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice added to the hollandaise sauce brightens the flavor and cuts through the richness. Feel free to substitute prosciutto for the honey ham for a saltier, more intense flavor profile. Fresh tarragon makes an excellent substitute for the dill.
