Description
A wonderful appetizer to have on hand that can be made ahead of time, frozen, and used as needed.
Ingredients
- 20 thin slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
- ¾ pound butter
- 4 ounces blue cheese, at room temperature
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 egg, beaten
- 20 fresh asparagus spears
Instructions
- Trim crusts from bread
- and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl
- stir blue and cream cheeses together with the egg until well blended and creamy. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Roll one asparagus spear inside each
- and fasten with a toothpick.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Roll each asparagus wrap in butter to coat. Place on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer
- and freeze for one hour
- or until butter hardens and wraps are somewhat firm. Remove pan from freezer
- discard toothpicks
- and cut each wrap in half crosswise. Store in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer until ready to use.
- To serve
- preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Arrange frozen asparagus wraps on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes
- or until lightly browned. Check occasionally
- and turn if necessary
- for even browning and to prevent burning. Enjoy!
