  • 6 thin slices of Brie cheese rind removed
  • Grated aged Manchego or Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 teaspoon of ground sweet paprika such as Spanish smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat the broiler and position the broiler rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  • You can also cover the broiler pan with foil for easier cleanup if desired.
  • Arrange the asparagus on the broiler pan in groups of five, with their bottom ends together and their tips fanning out.
  • Place one slice of Brie cheese across the center of each asparagus fan.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese and paprika over the asparagus and drizzle them with a bit of olive oil.
  • Broil the asparagus until the cheese is melted, which should take about 1 minute.
  • Be careful not to brown it.
  • Carefully transfer the asparagus to individual serving plates while maintaining the fan shape.
