Gratinated asparagus with ham

Pre-cooked white asparagus is wrapped in ham, poured with a mustard-and-sacre sauce and garnished under Gouda. The asparagus should drain well, so that the sauce does not dilute and the cheese actually browns. Smoked salmon instead of ham produces a finer variant, but reduces the amount of salt.
