How to Make Asparagus Rollers
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim crusts from 8 slices of bread (using a loaf of your favorite bread) and flatten each slice with a rolling pin to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) softened butter and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Spread the butter-cheese mixture evenly over each flattened bread slice.
- Top each bread slice with 1-2 spears of fresh asparagus (about 1 cup total asparagus spears, trimmed).
- Tightly roll each bread slice around the asparagus, securing with a toothpick.
- In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Brush the melted butter over the rolled asparagus.
- Cut each roll into fourths (using a sharp knife).
- Place the asparagus rollers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- **Freezing Instructions (for make-ahead):** Place the unbaked rollers on a baking sheet and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid. Transfer frozen rollers to a freezer bag and store until ready to bake. Bake frozen for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
- **Baking Instructions (fresh):** Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through.
