Ingredients: 20 slices white bread, crusts removed; 3 ounces Bleu cheese; one 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened; 1 egg, beaten; one 14 1/2-ounce can asparagus spears; 1 cup butter; wooden toothpicks.

Instructions: Flatten each bread slice with rolling pin. Combine the cream cheese with Bleu cheese and beaten egg. Mix well and spread evenly on bread, covering to the edge. Put one asparagus spear on each slice of bread; roll up and secure with wooden toothpicks. Dip in or brush with melted butter. Place on baking sheet, cover tightly and freeze. When ready to use, partially thaw and slice each rollup into 3 equal pieces. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden and crispy. You might bake them whole and serve with soup or salad for a luncheon. Makes 10 servings. (30 minutes preparation time. Suitable for freezing.)
