Asparagus with Brie

1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed (can also use fresh, thin green beans)
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

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

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
in preheated oven for 8 minutes.

Increase oven to broil. Broil just until breadcrumbs are golden
brown, and it's bubbly beneath them.
