Fresh asparagus is the best in the early spring and is wonderful in this recipe. The ham and Dijon mustard add delicious flavor which will help this dish disappear fast. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter |
3 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 cups milk |
2 tablespoons country-style dijon mustard |
1 to 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
24 fresh or frozen asparagus spears |
8 thin slices fully cooked ham, (about 3/4 pound) |
1 to 2 hard-cooked eggs, sliced or chopped |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk and cook until bubbly and thickened. Stir in mustard, horseradish, salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
2. Place three asparagus spears on each ham slice. Roll up; secure with toothpicks if necessary. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan; cover with sauce. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until asparagus reaches desired doneness. Place egg over sauce just before serving. Yield: 8 servings.
