Asparagus with Brie recipe

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
1/2 (2.2 pound) wheel Brie cheese, sliced
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and place in a shallow baking dish. Lay cheese slices over asparagus.

In a small bowl combine melted butter, bread crumbs and sesame seeds. Sprinkle over cheese.

Bake for 8 minutes.

Increase oven to broil. Broil just until bread crumbs are golden brown.
