While asparagus season is here, keep this recipe near. It's a pretty and impressive side perfect for brunch or dinner-maybe alongside a steak! And it's a godsend when entertaining, since it's made with only five ingredients, a single pan and the simplest of techniques. The trick is wrapping bundles of asparagus, instead of individual stalks. As the bundles bake, the bacon drippings infuse the stalks with smoky flavor and transform this sometimes-woody vegetable into a silky smooth and meltingly tender masterpiece which, in our experience, no one can resist!

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb fresh tender thin asparagus
6 slices apple-smoked bacon
6 ounces buffalo mozzarella, sliced into even slices
salt
pepper
garlic powder

Steps:

Tips:

  • Choose thick asparagus spears. This will help them hold up better when wrapped in bacon.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Blanch the asparagus spears. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality bacon. Thick-cut bacon will provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Wrap the asparagus spears tightly with bacon. This will help keep them together and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Cook the asparagus bundles over medium heat. This will help prevent the bacon from burning.
  • Baste the asparagus bundles with the cooking juices. This will help keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Cook the asparagus bundles until the bacon is crispy and the asparagus is tender. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the asparagus bundles immediately. They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
