Bacon, Asparagus, and Cheese Sandwiches

When I was a kid my sister and I LOVED when my mom made these broiled asparagus, bacon, and cheese sandwiches. We would always argue about the order the ingredients should go on the toast. (Of course, I'm submitting this in the order I liked.) It was also a good way to get us to eat asparagus.
