Ingredients:
- 6 slices bacon
- 24 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 225 g cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp chives, chopped fine
- 12 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 2 Tbsp butter, melted
- 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Heat oven to 400 °F.
- Grease baking sheet.
- Cook bacon in deep skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towel.
- When bacon cools, crumble, and set aside.
- Place asparagus in large skillet and with 2 cm water. Simmer over medium heat, covered, until bright green and slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Remove asparagus and set aside.
- In bowl, combine cream cheese, bacon, and chives.
- Roll each bread slice with rolling pin on a work surface until thin and flat.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice.
- Center 2 asparagus spears on bread slice, and roll the slice around the asparagus into a tidy, compact cylinder. Place seam side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Brush each roll with melted butter and sprinkle with about 1.5 tsp Parmesan cheese.
- Bake until lightly golden brown and hot, 10–12 minutes.
