Dinner Tonight: Asparagus and Bacon on Buttered Toast

Place the bacon in a non-stick skillet set over medium heat. Cook, flipping occasionally, until bacon is crisp.

Drain on paper towels.

To prep the asparagus, hold a stalk of asparagus in your hands, and bend until the end snaps off. Repeat with remaining stalks, discarding the ends.

Place prepped asparagus in a microwave safe container and cover with plastic wrap. Set in the microwave and cook for four minutes and fifteen seconds. Carefully remove plastic wrap, and check to see if asparagus is tender. If done, toss the asparagus with one tablespoon of butter, and season with salt and pepper

Spread the remaining tablespoon of butter on each slice of toasted bread.

Divide the asparagus sears evenly among four slices of the toasted bread. Top each with a slice of bacon broken in half, and cover with another piece of toast.

Cut in half and serve.
