Recipe Summary Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus On Toast

Very easy, versatile, and classy appetizer with a kick. Easy clean-up too. Garlic salt and red pepper can be omitted if they don't complement the main dish.

Ingredients | Eggs And Toast And Bacon

4 slices white bread

4 slices bacon

12 ounces asparagus, trimmed

1 tablespoon butter, or more to taste

1 pinch garlic salt, or to taste

4 slices mozzarella cheese

1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.

Toast bread in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 5 minutes.

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned but still pliable, about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until bright green, about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus in hot butter under tender, about 5 minutes. Cut asparagus into pieces that will fit the bread slices. Season with garlic salt; wrap with bacon slices.

Arrange bacon-wrapped asparagus on toasted bread slices. Cover with mozzarella cheese slices. Sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.

Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella cheese is melted and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.

Substitute Monterey Jack or Muenster cheese for the mozzarella if desired.
