A friend of mine did something similar for her daughter's bridal shower... she had the white bread without crusts, flattened, the pickled asparagus, and the cream cheese, she did everything except add the bacon and green onions, and she did not bake them, those things were gone within 5 minutes... and she made five trays!! It was the first time I had had pickled asparagus.... I wonder if you could use gluten free bread for this.......

Good and easy. I didn't have any bacon so used deli meat with 2 pcs of asparagus on each slice on wheat bread. I can imagine bacon taking this over the top in taste, but taste was good my way I thought.
