Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 asparagus spears
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 large sandwich bread slices, crusts removed
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Lightly steam or blanch the asparagus for 2-3 minutes until they turn bright green but remain slightly crisp. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.
Take a slice of sandwich bread and use a rolling pin to flatten it to about half its original thickness.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of the flattened bread slice.
Place one or two asparagus spears (depending on their size) at one end of the bread slice, then roll it up tightly to form a roll. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread and asparagus.
Brush the outside of each roll with melted butter, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Place the prepared rolls seam-side down on the lined baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm and enjoy your Delicious Asparagus Roll Ups!
