Toasted Asparagus Roll-Ups
These are great to serve with a hearty “meal”-type soup,
a seafood stew or main dish salad.
Makes 6 pieces – 3 servings with soup, stew or salad,
or 6 appetizer servings
6 asparagus spears, about
1
2 inch (1.25 cm) thick
1 tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon (15 ml) extra virgin olive oil
6 slices good quality sandwich-type bread, white or whole wheat
3 teaspoons (15 ml) freshly grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
Trim asparagus to 5
1
2-inch (13.75 cm) lengths, and peel if desired. Bring
2 inches (5 cm) of water to a boil in a 10-inch (25 cm) skillet. Place
asparagus in boiling water for 30 seconds to blanch, and remove
immediately to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. When cool, dry
completely. Combine the melted butter and olive oil. Preheat toaster oven
to 375°F (190°C) and line the baking pan with foil.
Remove crusts from sliced bread. Use a rolling pin to flatten the bread as
thin as possible. Sprinkle each with
1
2 teaspoon (2 ml) grated cheese. Place
an asparagus spear to one edge of the bread and roll as a jelly roll. Repeat
until all are rolled. Brush lightly with butter/olive oil mixture. Arrange evenly
spaced on the prepared pan, with all tips to one side. Place the pan in the
oven, asparagus tips to the front of the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
Brush again lightly with more of the butter/olive oil mixture and bake for
another 7 to 8 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
