Steps:
- Take 3 sheets and butter the first then lay the 2nd on top, then butter the 2nd sheet, and then lay the 3rd sheet on top Now slice the sheet in 2 1/2 inch strips, cut each strip 4 inches. Each strip should be 4 inches long by 2 1/2 inches wide.
- Take the asparagus that has been trimmed and steamed, al dente, and place on the cut puff pastry, now brush with a little melted butter and then put a teaspoon full of cheese on it.
- Now wrap the pastry over the asparagus as in a roll. It's ok if the tip and end sticks out; seal the pastry with melted butter and put in a plastic container till ready to use and freeze.
- When ready to use, put on a greased cookie sheet and put in the oven on the middle rack or in a toaster oven. Bake in the oven on high heat till the pastry turns golden color and the cheese starts to ooze out the ends. Don't over bake or they will burn.
- Note: The reason I have put the ingredients at one each is so you can make as little or as much as you want, just follow the amount for each item how many you want to make.

BACON-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS SPEARS WITH TOMATOES AND TALEGGIO CHEESE
Mike came up with this recipe during the first dinner we cooked together in our brand-new apartment! We were inspired by a similar dish we've had at an Italian restaurant, but used it as a side dish instead of an antipasti plate, and substituted the prosciutto with bacon. The cheese, a relatively mild cow's milk cheese, should be relatively easy to find because of its increasing popularity. Super easy to make, and super tasty!

Place toothpick through seam to help hold bacon on while cooking. Place wrap, seam side down, on broiler pan. Bake in oven on 350F for 30 - 35 minutes.

Steps:
- Break off tough asparagus ends; steam for approximately 3 or 4 minutes, just until tender crisp.
- Lay cheese slices flat, lay asparagus along side edge of cheese, with top of asparagus sticking out a bit. Carefully roll, I found Muenster cheese is easiest to roll, if you heat the havarti for about 10 seconds in a microwave, it rolls without breaking. If necessary use tooth picks or just lay on plate with opening down. We love the flavour of the Muenster with the asparagus and used both cheese with jalapeno. Lots of flavour! They can be cut in half, put the asparagus tops on opposite ends.

Tips:
- Choose thick asparagus spears: Thicker spears are easier to wrap and hold their shape better during cooking.
- Trim the asparagus: Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before you start cooking the asparagus.
- Use a variety of cheeses: You can use any type of cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, or goat cheese.
- Season the asparagus: Before wrapping the asparagus in cheese, season it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Use parchment paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the asparagus from sticking.

- Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served immediately after it is cooked.
