BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus image

While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH TOMATOES AND TALEGGIO CHEESE



Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus Spears with Tomatoes and Taleggio Cheese image

Mike came up with this recipe during the first dinner we cooked together in our brand-new apartment! We were inspired by a similar dish we've had at an Italian restaurant, but used it as a side dish instead of an antipasti plate, and substituted the prosciutto with bacon. The cheese, a relatively mild cow's milk cheese, should be relatively easy to find because of its increasing popularity. Super easy to make, and super tasty!

Provided by MikeAndKim

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Tomatoes

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir asparagus and grape tomatoes into the garlic and drizzle with lemon juice. Continue to cook and stir until asparagus are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Wrap 3 asparagus spears with 1 slice of bacon. Repeat with remaining asparagus and bacon, making 4 bundles. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet.
  • Scatter cooked grape tomatoes around the wrapped asparagus.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then scatter Taleggio cheese atop asparagus; return baking sheet to the oven.
  • Continue baking until bacon is crisp, 5 to 7 minutes more.
