Angie'S Asparagus Roll-Ups
Creamy asparagus wrapped in bread with melted butter, baked to a golden perfection—an easy, cheesy appetizer perfect for gatherings and asparagus lovers alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Trim the crust off the bread slices.
- Spread nacho cheese soup evenly on each slice of bread.
- Take one piece of asparagus from the can and roll it up in the bread with the cheese.
- Brush the assembled roll-ups with melted butter.
- Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) until lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using whole grain or sourdough bread instead of white bread for added flavor and texture. If you can't find nacho cheese soup, a creamy cheese dip or homemade cheese sauce can work well. Ensure the asparagus is well-drained to avoid soggy roll-ups. Consider adding some finely chopped herbs or spices to the cheese for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these asparagus roll-ups as a delicious appetizer or snack. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad or a side of creamy dip for added flavor. Consider serving with Dill Deviled Eggs for a delightful brunch spread. Perfect for gatherings, they're sure to impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the roll-ups in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh asparagus instead of canned?
Yes, fresh asparagus can be used! Simply blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender, then cool before rolling. This will give your roll-ups a fresher taste and a nice crunch.
Can these roll-ups be made ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the roll-ups a few hours in advance and keep them covered in the refrigerator. Just brush with melted butter before baking when you're ready to serve. This is a great time-saver for parties or gatherings.
What other cheeses can I use in the roll-ups?
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even a blend of cheeses can add a unique flavor. Just ensure the cheese is spreadable or melted, like in nacho cheese soup, for the best results.
