 <br>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

&nbsp;

8 oz (250g) Ontario Asparagus, trimmed

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 tbsp (45ml) extra-virgin olive oil

2 tbsp (25ml) chopped drained oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

Salt and pepper

3 oz (90g) Ontario Goat Cheese

24 crostini (toasted baguette slices), cooled

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.

Crostini: Cut baguette into 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick slices and place in single layer on baking sheet.  Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until lightly toasted.
