    • About This Recipe

    “These are lovely appetizers to serve and so easy to make and not too expensive ingredients. You may freeze them before baking just allow a little longer in the oven when baking from the frozen state.I have just made theseagain using square white sandwich bread. I needed 25 slices of bread, put a generous tbsp of the filling on each, cut them in two and ended up with 50 appies. If using the sandwich bread you will needfew extra asparagus but most aaparagus are longer than the slice of bread so you get 1 1/2 from most spears”

  • “I have served this appetizer in the past and EVERYONE loved it!It is relatively easy to prepare and oh, so good!I also used canned asparagus which made the dish much less time consuming.It was still good.Next time I will try using the fresh.It’s becoming difficult to find a good white bread so I think the next time I fix it I will go to our local bakery and see what I can find.Thanks for reminding me of thiswinning appetizer!”

  • “Hi Berg…I made these today to take over to my neihbours house tonight, wow what a hit!…I decided to prepare another batch of these for ourselves, they were SO good. The only change I made was I used canned asparagus, which seemed to work okay, but probably would be much better with fresh, and I made these with my own homemade white bread, sliced thinly and crusts removed… I will look forward to making these again as soon as the grocery stores get in fresh asparagus…this is a wonderful recipe Bergy, and so easy to put together….another winner! thanks so much, Kitten:)”
