Why not make these ahead of time, freeze,
and then pull them out to bake right before you need
them. Nothing could be easier.
This simple recipe never seems to go
out of style. It gets eaten up in an instant and it's
a healthy way to snack. What's not to love about it?
What you'll need:
- 20 thin slices of white bread
- 3 oz. Bleu Cheese
- 1 egg
- 20 asparagus spears (fresh or frozen and cooked crisp)
- 1/1 lb. butter (melted or less to cover bread)
First, trim the crust from the bread
slices. Flatten each slice with a rolling pin. Then,
blend the egg and cheese either by hand or in a food
processor and spread evenly on each bread slice.
Next, roll 1 spear in each slice of
bread. Dip each roll in melted butter. Place on a cookie
sheet and freeze. Slice each roll into 4 pieces (thaw
it slightly to make slicing easier.)
Bake at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
You can also make a variation by using
whole wheat bread instead of white bread for a hearty
flavor. Or try using pumpernickel bread or rye of some
kind. The different breads give different flavors. White
bread is the easiest to use, but the other breads add
some interesting flavors that are hard to beat.
Delicious!
