Asparagus with Breadcrumbs and Parmesan

This was delicious. I quartered the recipe.
4 slices white bread(3 oz)
3 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan
Course Salt and Ground Pepper
2 Large Bunches Asparagus(about 1 lb each), ends trimmed, stalkes peeled
1/2 Lemon

Preheat the oven to 425'. In a food processor, process bread until coarse crumbs form. Transfer breadcrumbs to a small bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil. Add the parmesan, season with salt and pepper, stir with a fork to combine. Arrange the asparagus in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. Top with breadcrumb mixture and bake until breadcrumbs are golden brown and asparagus is tender, about 20 minutes.(Don't use extra thin asparagus or it will be to overcooked.) Squeeze with lemon juice before serving. (I didn't use lemon juice.)
