Ingredients

4 eggs

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons all-purpose flour

salt and pepper to taste

1 (15 ounce) can asparagus, drained with liquid reserved

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 pinch cayenne pepper

4 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, cubed

1/2 cup blanched almond halves

1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs

 

 

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a medium-

sized casserole dish.

2 Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring

water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs

stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool,

peel and chop.

3 In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour, salt, and

pepper; blend thoroughly. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup of reserved

asparagus liquid and the milk; cook (stirring constantly) until the

sauce is thickened and smooth . If the mixture is too thick, more

asparagus liquid or milk can be added until the mixture reaches the

desired consistency. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cayenne

pepper. Remove the pan from the heat.

4 Layer the asparagus, eggs, cheese, and almonds into the casserole.

Repeat the layering until all of the ingredients are used. Spoon the

sauce over the layers and sprinkle with crumbs.

5 Bake in the preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 20

minutes; or until bubbly and lightly browned.
