The topping for this appetizer can be made ahead, but assemble the bruschetta just before serving. The topping is also delicious tossed in a green salad.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Makes 24 appetizers
8 oz (250g) Ontario Asparagus, trimmed
2 cloves garlic, minced

Salt and pepper
3 oz (90g) Ontario Goat Cheese

In pot of boiling salted water, cook asparagus until tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Rinse or plunge into cold water; drain again. Pat dry with paper towel.
Chop into small pieces and place in bowl. Add garlic, oil, tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste.
Spread a little of the cheese onto each crostini; top with asparagus mixture. Serve immediately.
