Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.

Step 2

Toast bread in the preheated oven until lightly golden about 5 minutes.

Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat turning occasionally until evenly browned but still pliable about 8 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook uncovered until bright green about 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.

Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir asparagus in hot butter under tender about 5 minutes. Cut asparagus into pieces that will fit the bread slices. Season with garlic salt; wrap with bacon slices.
