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

Absolutely loved this recipe! The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the mornay sauce was rich and creamy. I added a bit of chopped walnuts for some extra crunch and it really took the dish to the next level. Definitely a keeper!
