Categories     Casseroles

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lb asparagus, fresh
6 Tbsp butter, unsalted
4 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 c heavy cream
1 pinch paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
4 hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
2 c fresh bread cubes
1 c crumbled ritz crackers
1/2 c parmigiano-reggiano, grated

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Coat a medium baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  • 2. Prepare asparagus by holding bottom half of each spear with both hands and gently bending it until it snaps where it naturally breaks, separating tough fibrous end from tender part. Discard ends. Cut asparagus into pieces, add to pot, and cook until soft, 4-6 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain asparagus.
  • 3. Melt 4 tbsp. of the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in reserved cooking water, then the cream, stirring until smooth and thick, 8-10 minutes. Add paprika, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • 4. Layer asparagus, eggs, and sauce alternately in a medium baking dish, ending with sauce. Sprinkle with bread cubes, cracker crumbs, and parmigiano. Dot with remaining 2 tbsp. butter.
  • 5. Bake until bubbling and golden, 25-30 minutes. Serve hot.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some different seasonings next time.

This casserole was a bit too rich for my taste. The cheese sauce was very heavy and the asparagus was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I thought this casserole was just okay. The asparagus was a bit too soft for my taste and the cheese sauce was a little bland. I might try it again with some different seasonings.

I'm not usually a fan of asparagus, but this casserole changed my mind! The flavors all work so well together and the cheese topping is the perfect finishing touch.
