Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound asparagus spears washed, dried, and ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Drizzle the asparagus with olive oil and add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper; toss around to combine.
  2. Put the baking sheet in the oven and roast the asparagus for about 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp-tender.
  3. In the meantime, cook the bacon in a skillet to a desired crispness. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate; drain, crumble, and set aside.
  4. Remove the asparagus from the oven and top it with the cheeses. Place it back in the oven and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
  5. Remove the asparagus from the oven, top it with the crumbled bacon, and serve.

Notes

This dish is best served immediately while the cheese is melted and the bacon is crispy.
