ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two bunches fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
5 ounces Cheddar, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the asparagus to a large pot of boiling water, keeping the bundles together with rubber bands or string. Cook for a couple of minutes; the asparagus should be bright green and still crunchy. List the bundles out of the water and slice off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drop the trimmed ends back in the boiling water and lower to a simmer.
  • Run the asparagus tops under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the asparagus cooking liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping them off or using a knife.
  • Blanch the asparagus. This will help to preserve the asparagus's bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the asparagus, place it in a pot of boiling water for 1-2 minutes. Then, immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the casserole ahead of time. This casserole can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Simply assemble the casserole and then cover it and refrigerate it. When you're ready to bake it, just let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Serve the casserole hot. This casserole is best served hot, right out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
