Ingredients:

• 24 Spears of White Asparagus, cut to equal lengths
• 8 Slices of center-cut bacon
• 8 thin slices of Gruyere Cheese
• 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 400F. Take a cookie sheet with sides and line with parchment paper; set aside. Toss asparagus in bowl with olive oil, and season generously with salt and pepper; toss them again. Take three of asparagus spears, place a slice of the gruyere on top and wrap with a slice of the bacon, leaving the tips exposed. Repeat the process. Place each bundle on the cookie sheet and season with fresh ground pepper; bake 8 to 12 min. or until the bacon is at the desired crispness. Drizzle with a classic hollandaise or your favorite vinaigrette, or eat it like it is.
