Asparagus-Bacon Roll-Ups

• 12 slices white sandwich bread
• 1 container whipped cream cheese
• 12 fresh asparagus spears or canned asparagus spears
• crumbled bacon bits
• melted butter
• Parmesan cheese

1. Cook the asparagus spears; drain and cool.
2. Use a rolling pin to flatten out the bread.
3. Cut off the crusts after you have rolled over the bread.
4. This given an uptown finish to the roll-ups. Spread the cream cheese over the bread slices, sprinkle bacon bits over this, add the asparagus spear and roll as for a jellyroll. Cut each slice in half, place on cookie sheet, brush each roll with butter and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
5. Bake in hot oven (400u0b0) until the Parmesan has a golden glow (about 5 to 8 minutes), but watch closely so the rolls don't burn.
6. You could also broil 6 inches from broiler until lightly toasted.
7. Yields 24 appetizers.
