Roasted Asparagus With Crunchy Parmesan Topping image

This comforting gratin is ready in less than 30 minutes. Feel free to use the thin asparagus, as noted in the recipe, or use thick asparagus, trimmed and peeled, as in the video. Or, just use the Parmesan breadcrumb topping on another favorite vegetable. It's a welcome and perfectly crisp addition to just about any meat or vegetable.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy, quick, weekday, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 thick slice good bread
1 small chunk Parmigiano-Reggiano, about 1 ounce
1 1/2 pounds thin asparagus, more or less
3 tablespoons butter, extra virgin olive oil, or a combination
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 500 degrees; while it heats, put bread in, and check frequently until it is lightly toasted and dry. Coarsely grind or grate bread and cheese together (a small food processor is best), and keep crumbs larger than commercial bread crumbs.
  • Rinse asparagus, and break off woody bottoms. Lay stalks in a baking dish that will hold them in two or three layers. Toss with bits of butter or the oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
  • Roast 5 minutes, then shake dish to redistribute butter or oil. Roast 5 minutes more, then test for doneness by piercing a spear with point of a sharp knife; it should slide in but meet a little resistance. (Up to this point, the recipe can be made as much as two hours before serving; just leave asparagus at room temperature).
  • Turn on broiler and place rack as close as possible to heating element. Top asparagus with cheese-crumb mixture and run under broiler to brown, a minute or two. Serve hot or at room temperature.

This recipe comes from my husband's cousin. A great appetizer that can be frozen and baked for unexpected company - or can be prepared ahead for a cocktail party.

Provided by Eldeevee

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 80 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 loaf white bread
1/3 cup butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 green onions, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon dill, dried
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Using a round cookie cutter, make four 1 1/2" circles per slice of bread.
  • Butter each slice on one side.
  • Broil, turning once until lightly toasted.
  • In a small bowl combine the remainder of ingredients until smoothly blended.
  • Spread 1 tsp on the buttered side of each "toast".

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus stalks. Thicker stalks will hold up better during cooking and will be less likely to break.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You want the asparagus to be cooked through, but you don't want it to be mushy. Cook it for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality pita bread. A fresh, soft pita bread will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overload the pita rounds. If you put too much filling on the pita rounds, they will be difficult to eat and will fall apart.
  • Serve the pita rounds immediately. The pita rounds are best when they are warm and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Asparagus parmesan pita rounds are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a light meal. With their simple ingredients and quick preparation time, these pita rounds are a great option for busy weeknights or when you are entertaining guests.
