Time 38m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

16 white asparagus spears
salt to taste
8 slices white bread
2 tablespoons butter, or to taste
4 thick slices ham, cut in half
8 slices Edam cheese

Steps:

  • Peel white asparagus with a vegetable peeler from top to bottom, starting below the tips. Cut off any woody ends with a knife.
  • Place asparagus spears and salt in a large, wide saucepan and pour in enough water to just cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until spears are tender and easily pierced with a knife, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain.
  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Toast bread slices; arrange on a baking sheet. Spread butter over warm bread.
  • Lay 1/2 slice ham on top of each slice of bread; trim excess on all sides. Cut asparagus spears in half; divide evenly over ham. Cover asparagus spears with Edam cheese.
  • Place under the preheated broiler until cheese starts to bubble and brown slightly, about 3 minutes.
