This is a great way to serve asparagus. I can't remember where I got the recipe but I always make this when fresh asparagus is in season. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon flour |
1 cup half-and-half |
3/4 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 cup shredded swiss cheese |
2 tablespoons crushed ritz crackers |
Directions:
1. In large skillet, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes; drain.
2. Arrange spears in bottom of greased 1-1/2 quart baking dish; set aside and keep warm.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Whisk in half-and-half, bouillon, salt and pepper; bring to boil over medium heat. Stir for about 2 minutes.
4. Remove from heat; stir in cheese until melted. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle with cracker crumbs.
5. Broil 6 inches from heat until lightly browned about 3-5 minutes.
