Asparagus Bundles

Nothing says Spring quite like tender spears of asparagus. Combine them with a cheesy sauce in little bread bundles, and they are sure to be a hit for mom this Mother's Day.  I found this too late for Mother's Day but I'm thinking I will still try these out.  Another great recipe from Rhodes.  

Asparagus Bundles

8 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature OR 1/3 batch of Cool Rise Roll Dough
1 pound fresh asparagus trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 ounces softened cream cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion
2 tablespoons capers
salt & pepper to taste
2 teaspoons melted butter
seasoned bread crumbs

Flatten each roll into a 6-inch square. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest. Boil asparagus in 1/2-inch water for 2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Blend cream cheese, milk and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in onions, capers, salt and pepper. Gently fold in asparagus. Remove wrap from dough squares. Divide asparagus mixture evenly between the squares. Moisten edges of each dough square with water. Bring edges together and twist to resemble bundles. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake at 375°F 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
