2. 2

3. 3
   Cut off the crusts after you have rolled over the bread.

   This given an uptown finish to the roll-ups. Spread the cream cheese over the bread slices, sprinkle bacon bits over this, add the asparagus spear and roll as for a jellyroll. Cut each slice in half, place on cookie sheet, brush each roll with butter and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top.
5. 5
   Bake in hot oven (400°) until the Parmesan has a golden glow (about 5 to 8 minutes), but watch closely so the rolls don't burn.
