Asparagus with Brie recipe

4 servings

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed

1/2 (2.2 pound) wheel Brie cheese, sliced

1/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover.

Cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 to 6 minutes.

Drain and place in a shallow baking dish.

Lay cheese slices over asparagus.

In a small bowl combine melted butter, bread crumbs and sesame seeds.

Sprinkle over cheese.

Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Increase oven to broil.

Broil just until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
