Preheat the fryer. In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, combine  
the egg, 1 tablespoon of garlic, lemon juice, and mustard. Season with salt  
and pepper. With the machine running, in a steady stream, add the oil, a  
little at a time. Process until the mixture is thick. Remove from the  
processor and season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and chill  
until ready to use. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining garlic,  
tomatoes, onions, and prosciutto. Season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of  
olive oil. Stir in the basil. Set aside. Season the asparagus and flour with  
salt and pepper. In a shallow pie pan, whisk the eggs and milk together.  
Season with salt and pepper. Dredge each spear in the seasoned flour. Dip  
each spear in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the spears  
back in the flour, coating completely. Carefully lay a couple of the spears  
in the hot oil and fry until golden brown. Fry in batches. Remove the  
asparagus from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and  
pepper. To serve, lay the asparagus on a platter. Drizzle the aioli over the  
top. Mound the relish in the center of the asparagus and garnish with the  
cheese. This recipe yields 4 servings.
