Ingredients
1 lb. fresh asparagus
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. Balsamic vinegar, plus more for drizzling
1 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
3 (3/4" thick) slices of bread from a large, round, crusty loaf
1/2 lb. camembert cheese, cut into thin slices
salt and pepper to taste
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat grill or broiler oven. Snap off woody ends of each asparagus stalk and place asparagus into a large ziptop bag. Add in oil, vinegar and some salt and pepper. Seal bag and shake contents to coat asparagus well. Slice camembert and top bread slices with it.
- Place asparagus and cheese bread onto the grill. Grill asparagus about 4 minutes per side and toast bread until crisp and cheese has melted. Transfer bread onto a cutting board and top with five or six asparagus spears. With a large knife, cut bread into three or four smaller pieces and transfer to a serving platter.
- Drizzle bread with more balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately.
