Yield Serves 6-8, recipe can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 9

24 fresh asparagus, ends trimmed off
4 ounces cream cheese with chives and onions, softened
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
1 teaspoon purchased Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon mango chutney
12 bread slices, crust trimmed
1 cup roasted garlic and herb chicken, turkey or pork sausage, browned and crumbled
¼ cup butter, melted
paprika

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Steam asparagus until crisp-tender, let cool. Stir together cream cheese, blue cheese, mustard and chutney. Roll each bread slice with a rolling pin to flatten evenly to 1/8-inch thickness. Spread one side of each bread slice with 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture and top with 1 tablespoon sausage. Place 2 asparagus spears in the middle of each prepared bread slice and roll up. Place each roll, seam side down, on a baking sheet and brush lightly with butter. Sprinkle each roll-up lightly with paprika and bake for 12 minutes, until golden. So good!
