French Bread Topped with Asparagus and Cheese

French Bread Topped with Asparagus and Cheese

Date: 2015-09-04
Hello Hello! Spring has arrived. Its that time of the year when everything is just brighter. For me personally it's the time to get out of hibernation, pack away the winter woolies, begin the spring-cleaning and open the doors to entertaining.

With National Braai day in September we really have much to celebrate during this glorious season. This week I bring you a very simple and easy something to serve your guests as they arrive for that braai.

French Bread Topped with Asparagus and Cheese

This simple to make and ever so popular starter with my circle of friends can be done in less than five minutes as long as you have all the ingredients.

You will need:

1 crusty French loaf available from your local baker

1 tin of asparagus salad cuts or spears

Plain mayonnaise or spicy mayonnaise

Grated Gouda cheese

Paprika spice

Step 1: Slice the crusty freshly baked French bread. Slices to be approximately 2cm and place on a baking tray

Step 2: Mash up drained asparagus.. Not too fine and mix in three tablespoon of mayonnaise

Step 3: Place spoonfuls of the asparagus / mayo mixture on each slice of French bread

Step 4: Sprinkle grated cheese and a dash of paprika on each bite size slice

Step 5: Just before serving pop into an oven of 180 degrees. Remove as the cheese is melting.
