Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 2 hard-boiled large eggs, sliced
  • 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
  • 4 slices bread, toasted and halved

Directions

  1. In a large skillet, bring 1/2 in of water to a boil. Add asparagus; cover and boil for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain. Transfer to a greased 11x7-in. baking dish. Arrange eggs over the top.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter; gradually stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat; stir in cheese until melted. Pour over eggs.
  3. In a small skillet, melt the remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over top of casserole. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with toast.
