Ingredients for Amazing Asparagus Bundles

  • 1 pound asparagus
  • Whipped Cream Cheese
  • White Bread
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Parmesan Cheese

How to Make Amazing Asparagus Bundles

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut off the hard ends of 1 pound asparagus.
  3. Using 8 slices of your favorite bread (about 1 inch thick), trim the crusts off each slice.
  4. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread slightly.
  5. Spread 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese evenly over each bread slice.
  6. Top each bread slice with approximately 4-5 spears of asparagus.
  7. Carefully roll the bread around the asparagus, tucking in the ends to seal.
  8. Place the bundles seam-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Brush each bundle generously with 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  10. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your preferred cheese). You can also roll the bundles in the cheese for extra cheesy goodness.
  11. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the asparagus is tender.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
