MY SISTER introduced me to this recipe several years ago because she knows I love blue cheese. This dish is a simple way to dress up asparagus, giving it a tangy taste altogether different from the usual cheese sauce. I make it every spring when we have fresh homegrown asparagus. Leona Luecking West Burlington, Iowa Ingredients:
1/2 pound fresh asparagus spears |
2 ounces cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons evaporated milk or half-and-half cream |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 to 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, cook asparagus in a small amount of water until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, in another saucepan, whisk cream cheese, milk and salt over low heat until smooth. Stir in blue cheese and heat through. Drain asparagus and top with sauce. Yield: 2 servings.
