Asparagus and creamy Gruyere create a delightful twist to this popular snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 8 oz Gruyere cheese, grated
  • 6 oz good country ham, or 4 oz proscuitto, finely chopped or ground in food processor
  • 1 10 oz French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices, grilled or toasted
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  • Preheat broiler. Bring a large sauté pan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus and cook until tender crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a colander, refresh under cold running water to stop the cooking, and drain well. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the cheese and ham; toss to mix. Set aside.
  • Using your fingers to hold the garlic, rub the clove against one side of the toasted bread to flavor the entire surface. Drizzle or brush with a bit of the olive oil. Arrange the blanched asparagus on the toasts, then divide the cheese and ham topping evenly over the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place bruschetta on a baking sheet and broil just until the cheese melts and begins to brown, about 1-2 minutes. Keep a careful watch so as not to burn.
  • Serve immediately.
