Steps:

- Heat 2 ounces (1/8 cup) olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add half of the bread and let cook until the underside begins to brown, about 3 minutes, then flip the bread and finish the other side, about 3 minutes more. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and rub both sides with a garlic clove to perfume the toast. Wipe out the pan and repeat again with the remaining oil and bread.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400°F: Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the asparagus: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside. (Reserve the snapped ends for another meal, if you like.)
- Wrap the asparagus with prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension. This helps to ensure that the prosciutto wraps around the asparagus tightly. Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.
- Drizzle the asparagus with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil: Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
- Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes: When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Divide the asparagus among each slice of bread, layering it on top of the cheese mixture. Cut each slice in half, and serve the bruschetta immediately.
