I really love asparagus, but the only recipe I've known is to blanch asparagus and pair it with mayonnaise or vinegar for salad.
Thanks to Bobbie Pearsall recipe, my asparagus will have a different presentation.
ASPARAGUS BAKE
- 4 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
- 12 dinner rolls
- 1 1/2 cups diced processed cheese
- 2 1/2 cooked ham, coarsely chopped
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups milk
- 3 tbsps minced onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Directions:
Prep. 15 mins
Cook 55 mins
Ready In 1hr 15mins
- If using raw asparagus, place a steamer basket or insert a two cups of water into a small stock pot. Bring water to boil then add the asparagus. Cook until tender but still firm, about 5 mins. Drain and let it cool.
- Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Split dinner rolls in half and set top half aside. Tear bottom half of rolls into pieces and spread evenly in pan. Layer asparagus, cheese and ham over bread pieces. Arrange the remaining half rolls on top of other ingredients.
- Beat together eggs, milk, onion, salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture into pan and refrigerate over night.
- Remove pan from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking and preheat oven to 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C).
- Bake uncovered until a knife inserted into center of pan comes out clean, about 55 mins. Lets stand about 10 mins before cutting.
***You can substitute asparagus with spinach. And if you don't have process cheese, you can substitute it with mozzarella cheese.
