Cheesy Asparagus Bread Pudding

This is so good! It makes a wonderful dish for a brunch get together. Plan ahead this needs to chill for 6 hours. You can really use any kind of cheese for this, i have even used provolone. Don't cube the bread slices for this, leave the bread in one slice, and use day-old bread!!

Steam the asparagus for about 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender.
Drain and place in ice water or very cold water.

Repeat the layers two more times (4 slices bread , asparagus then cheese.
