I made these asparagus rolls ups from a recipe I got off my recipe club.  The lady who submitted it is
Deb Crane and she got it from  "Taste of Home".
I used sour dough bread and left the crust on the bread.

8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp fresh or dried chives
8 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

Flatten bread with a rolling pin.
3
Combine cream cheese, bacon and chives; spread 1 Tablespoon on each slice of bread. Top with an asparagus spear. Roll up tightly; placing seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Brush with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese ( I like to use Italian bread crumbs as well)
