Ingredients:

Serving

16 asparagus tips
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh rosemary leaf
salt
ground black pepper
1 cup half-and-half
2 eggs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus extra for sprinkling
4 slices white peasant bread, each 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick
4 tsp unsalted butter

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375°F Toss asparagus tips with oil, rosemary, salt and pepper. Spread on a cookie sheet and roast 10 minutes.
In a wide shallow dish, beat together eggs, half and half, Parmesan, and more salt and pepper.
Dip one slice of bread in the egg mixture. Flip over, and press 4 asparagus tips, lined up in alternating directions, into the soggy bread.
Melt 2 tsp butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place 2 slices of bread, asparagus side down, into skillet. Cook slowly, about 4 minutes per side, pressing down occasionally to ensure good contact and browning. While cooking the second side, sprinkle the asparagus side of each slice with a teaspoon or so of grated Parmesan. Keep warm in a 200°F oven while preparing the second batch.
Serve hot, with tomato jam.
