My kids and husband can't get enough of these tempting appetizers. Sometimes I use miniature bagel halves, Melba toasts or split English muffins in place of the French baguette slices. Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided |
1 french bread baguette (10-1/2 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch slices |
1 garlic clove, peeled and halved |
4 eggs |
1 tablespoon 2% milk |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/4 cup manchego cheese, grated, divided |
caviar, capers and/or paprika |
Directions:
1. Place asparagus in an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until crisp-tender, stirring occasionally.
2. Brush baguette slices with remaining oil. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until toasted. Rub garlic clove over each slice; discard garlic.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, pepper and salt. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add egg mixture; cook and stir until almost set. Stir in asparagus and 2 tablespoons cheese. Cook and stir until completely set.
4. Spoon egg mixture over baguette slices; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Garnish with caviar, capers and/or paprika. Serve immediately. Yield: 3 dozen.
