For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the prosciutto in a pan before adding it to the filling. Fresh asparagus, blanched and chopped, can be used in place of frozen. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Experiment with different cheeses in the filling, such as fontina or provolone, for a unique flavor profile.
