Asparagus Mornay image

When I was growing up on my parents' dairy farm, we always had a large asparagus patch. I still love asparagus, but my husband and two children weren't that eager to eat it until I found this recipe. Now even my toughest vegetable critic, 4-year-old son Aaron, enjoys these savory spears. - Linda McKee, Big Prairie, Ohio

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover asparagus. I also added some chopped ham and it was delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce turned out lumpy. I think I may have overcooked it.

I would have liked the sauce to be a little creamier, but overall this recipe is a good starting point.
