A fun way to get children to eat asparagus: roasted and paired with hummus and creamy melted Havarti cheese.

Cooks' Note

This will result in a crisp top/sides but still soft piece of bread. If a crisp piece of bread is desired, place rack towards the middle of oven and lightly toast the bread before assembling. Also, instead of roasting the asparagus, you could shave and leave raw before placing the toast under the broiler.
