1 lb asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into 2 inch pieces
8 oz gruyere cheese, grated
6 oz good country ham , or 4

3 garlic cloves, peeled and cut in half
extra-virgin olive oil

freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine the cheese and ham; toss to mix. Set aside.
Using your fingers to hold the garlic, rub the clove against one side of the toasted
