Directions:
- Trim the tough ends from the asparagus, lay it in a stainless saute pan, pour over 1/2 inch boiling water, add 1/2 teaspoons salt, cover and place over medium high.
- Let simmer until the asparagus is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove and let cool on paper towels.
- Generously butter a 14-inch pizza pan, or flat baking dish.
- Remove the crusts from the bread and arrange the slices all over the bottom of the pan.
- Lay the prosciutto or black forest ham on top of the bread.
- In a small bowl, mix the yolks and cream with pepper and nutmeg.
- Pour this over the bread.
- Place over this a thin layer of fontina.
- Bake the torta in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes.
- Remove the torta from the oven, and arrange the asparagus over the cheese layer, in a spoke fashion.
- Top with the remaining fontina.
- At this point, the torta may sit at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, return the torta to a preheated 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden.
- Makes 8 servings.
