Asparagus Roll-Ups image

These roll-ups are simply divine. A friend shared the recipe after serving them at a church brunch, where they disappeared fast. They make a unique finger food, a side dish at supper, or a lovely lunch served with soup.

Time 40m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
16 thick fresh asparagus spears
½ lemon, juiced
16 slices multi-grain bread, crusts removed
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
¼ cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. Crumble bacon when cooled.
  • Cook asparagus in a skillet with a small amount of water over medium heat until crisp and tender, about 6 to 8 minutes; drain and sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Flatten bread slices with a rolling pin.
  • Stir cream cheese, crumbled bacon, and chives together in a small bowl until evenly mixed. Spread 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread and top with an asparagus spear. Roll the bread tightly around the asparagus; arrange onto prepared baking sheet with seam side down. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I really liked these roll-ups. The prosciutto and cheese really balance out the flavor of the asparagus.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I had some leftover from a stir-fry, and these roll-ups were the perfect way to use it up.
