Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with 1/4 of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with the olive oil.
- Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once on a platter with the sliced ham.
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
- Pinch gray salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
- To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Tilt the pan and then add the minced garlic and saute briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, sweat the pancetta with the olive oil until crispy and fully rendered, 5 minutes. Remove the pancetta from the pan and set aside. Add the onions, shallots and garlic. Lightly season with salt and pepper. Once the aromatics are soft, about 5 minutes, add the stock, bread and tarragon. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the asparagus and spinach. Simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer the contents to a blender, and make sure you've added enough stock to achieve the desired consistency. Blend the soup and season with the lemon juice. Adjust the salt and pepper as necessary. If available, strain through a fine mesh strainer. This soup can be served hot or chilled.
- Serve with the crispy pancetta, chopped chives and a dollop of creme fraiche. If serving cold, additional chicken stock may be necessary to make sure the consistency is correct.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot 2/3 full of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain and plunge the asparagus into a large bowl of cold water to stop cooking. Drain and set aside.
- In a large saute pan set over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the morels and continue to cook for 2 to 4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender (cook for 2 minutes if using dried). Add the wine and stock and simmer for 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove half of the mushrooms and set aside.
- Pour the remaining mushrooms and liquid into a blender and add the tarragon, parsley, tamari and vinegar. Process until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids; you should have about 2 cups liquid. Whisk in the ginseng and remaining oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Set vinaigrette aside.
- Toast the bread slices until lightly browned and rub them with the garlic cloves. Place each slice in a shallow soup bowl and top with a few asparagus spears. Slice the remaining spears into half-inch pieces and toss with the reserved morels and 1/4 cup of the vinaigrette. Divide among the bowls. Pour the remaining vinaigrette around the toast and crumble one slice of goat cheese over each. Microwave each bowl on high for 30 seconds or until the cheese just melts. Garnish with chopped parsley and tarragon and serve immediately.

Steps:
- 1. Grease a 2 qt. rectangular baking dish with cooking spray.
- 2. Bend asparagus and snap off asparagus. Discard woody ends and cut the rest of the asparagus into 1-2 inch pieces - approx. 2 cups.
- 3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute onion for approx. 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the asparagus, curry powder and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes or until the onion and asparagus are tender.
- 4. Place bread slices in the bottom of dish making sure the entire bottom is covered. Layer the asparagus mixture over the bread slices. Then sprinkle with the cheddar cheese over the top.
- 5. In a bowl, combine milk, eggs, salt and pepper mixing well. Pour egg mixture over the cheese. Bake at 450 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the casserole rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Prepare the asparagus properly. Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. Asparagus should be cooked until it is bright green and tender, but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your asparagus bread will taste. Use fresh asparagus, good quality butter, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
- Let the bread rise in a warm place. This will help the bread to rise properly and develop a good flavor.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown. The bread is done baking when it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Conclusion:
Asparagus bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh asparagus, and it is also a great bread to serve with soup or salad. With its unique flavor and texture, asparagus bread is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
