I haven't tried this yet, but thought someone might like to for a party buffet. It looks incredibly delish!

1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups shredded swiss cheese
1 1/4 cup diced cooked ham
2 {10 1/2-ozs} cans asparagus pieces, drained and chopped
4 green onions, minced
Garnishes-chopped green onions, cooked asparagus tips
STIR together cracker crumbs and melted butter, and press into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
BAKE crumb mixture at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool. Reduce oven temperature to 300.
