Ingredients
  

  • 48 thin asparagus spears ends trimmed
  • 1 brick of cream cheese (8 ounces) at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbled

  • In the meantime, fill a large bowl with cold water and ice.
  • Remove the asparagus from the boiling water and transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain them and dry them off thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel.

  • In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the blue cheese using a fork until the mixture is smooth and spreadable. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Go easy on the salt, since the cheese is quite salty.

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the crusts from the bread and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice out. Trim to form a rectangle.
