Fresh asparagus, honey mustard, ham and cheese make a tasty filling for these bite-size rounds of toasted whole wheat bread. I like to assemble them ahead of time and bake them as guests arrive. -Lucille Mead Ilion, New York

Asparagus Ham Bites Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 24 Servings

30 30

Ingredients

6 fresh thin asparagus spears
6 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey mustard
6 thin slices Monterey Jack cheese
6 thin slices deli ham
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Trim asparagus to 5-1/4 in. Flatten bread with a rolling pin; brush one side of each slice with oil. Place bread, oiled side down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Spread each slice with mustard; top with cheese, ham and asparagus. Roll up tightly and place seam side down.
Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until just crisp. Sprinkle with paprika. Cut each roll into four pieces. Yield: 2 dozen.

Editor’s Note: For best results, use a firm 100% whole wheat bread.
