Place the asparagus in a shallow, heat-resistant, non-metallic baking dish and heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through. Arrange toasted English muffin halves on a heat-resistant, non-metallic serving platter. Place 1 slice of ham over 2 halves of the English muffin. Divide asparagus among the 4 muffins.
