Cooking Tips

• Make sure to trim the woody ends of the asparagus before roasting.
• You can use any type of bread for the crostini, but a baguette works best for its crispy texture.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the Parma ham and add some roasted cherry tomatoes for extra flavor.

Storage and Serving

• These crostini are best served immediately while the bread is still crispy.
• If you have leftovers, you can store the roasted asparagus and Brie separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, simply warm the asparagus in the oven and assemble the crostini just before serving.
