Asparagus Parmesan - Trudy Bilderback, Salem County Cookbook p.102

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb asparagus or 1 pkg frozen tips
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp white pepper
  • 1/8 tsp dry mustard
  • juice of 1/2 large lemon
  • 1/2 cup buttered bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

Directions: 

Snap the tough ends from the asparagus. Wash until all sand has been removed from the heads. Place in enough boiling water to cover and cook until just tender when tested gently with a fork. Drain. Place in a greased 8" oval casserole. Melt butter and heat until it turns a golden brown. Blend in mayonnaise, seasonings, and lemon juice. Pour over asparagus. Sprinkle bread crumbs over top. Add a final sprinkling of cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15 min or until the top is browned. Serves 4.

Above recipe may be changed by alternating a layer of cooked broccoli with the asparagus.
