Kosher salt
8 to 12 stalks asparagus, woody ends trimmed
4 slices toasted hearty bread
Extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade ricotta cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Roughly torn fresh mint leaves

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil and prepare an ice bath. Add asparagus to pot and cook until tender-crisp, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Drain asparagus and immediately transfer to an ice bath to chill. Let cool for 1 minute. Dry carefully, then roughly chop into disks or batons.
Drizzle toast with olive oil. Spread evenly with ricotta cheese and season with pepper. Top with chopped asparagus and torn mint leaves. Drizzle with more olive oil and serve immediately.
