Steps:
- Trim crusts from bread, and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, stir blue and cream cheeses together with the egg until well blended and creamy. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Roll one asparagus spear inside each, and fasten with a toothpick.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan. Roll each asparagus wrap in butter to coat. Place on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer, and freeze for one hour, or until butter hardens and wraps are somewhat firm. Remove pan from freezer, discard toothpicks, and cut each wrap in half crosswise. Store in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer until ready to use.
- To serve, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Arrange frozen asparagus wraps on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Check occasionally, and turn if necessary, for even browning and to prevent burning. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place water in the bottom half of a steamer pan set. Add salt and butter, and bring to a boil.
- Trim the dry ends off of the asparagus. If the spears are thick, peel them lightly with a vegetable peeler. Place them in the top half of the steamer pan set. Steam for 5 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the asparagus, or until asparagus is tender.

ROASTED BALSAMIC GARLIC ASPARAGUS APPETIZER
After preparing AngelaTN's roasted asparagus for dinner recently, I just couldn't get enough of them! I wanted to make them again, but the event I was going to was a non-heating kind of thing, so I decided I'd put together an adapted version that would work well chilled or room temperature, as an appetizer. Here's what I came up with, and it's delicious! I made them as part of an anti pasto tray. Prep time does not include chilling.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim the asparagus: rinse the asparagus, cut about an inch off the ends, then use a vegetable peeler to take the outer layer off another inch of the remaining fibrous ends (easiest is to lay the spear on a flat surface then use peeler to gently take off the layer - careful, or you'll remove too much).
- Place the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on a non-stick baking sheet, then spray with an olive oil mister or drizzle evenly with olive oil (or spray with pan spray).
- Season with the sea salt and the freshly ground pepper.
- Place in oven and roast for 8 minutes (don't overcook).
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over very low heat melt the butter and extra virgin olive oil.
- Add the sliced garlic and simmer (again, over very low heat) for 5 minutes - careful not to burn.
- Remove from heat and add the soy sauce and balsamic.
- When asparagus is done, remove from the oven and place in a container which has an airtight cover.
- Place the garlic from the balsamic mixture on the asparagus; whisk the balsamic mixture well (I use a pigtail whisk) and pour it over the roasted asparagus.
- Cover tightly, shake, and place in refrigerator to chill (please note that the asparagus is still hot in the container, and that covering them and adding the sauce at this point will continue to steam them a bit for a few minutes).
- Chill for at least 4 hours before serving, the place attractively on serving platter.
- Goes well as part of an anti pasto course!
- Note: although I used these as an appetizer/snack, they could also work quite well as a side dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
- Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean cutting board. Brush with butter and sprinkle with 1 to 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Top with another piece of phyllo dough; brush with butter and sprinkle with cheese.
- Cut phyllo dough into 4 equal pieces and wrap 1 asparagus spear inside each piece of phyllo. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining phyllo dough, butter, Parmesan cheese, and asparagus spears. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over wrapped asparagus.
- Bake in the preheated oven until phyllo is lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately.
