Provided by Natasha of NatashasKitchen.com

Categories     Easy

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs asparagus (trimmed)
4 Tbsp unsalted butter (divided, plus more to grease casserole)
2 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups half and half ((or equal parts milk and heavy cream))
2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 cup parmesan cheese (divided)
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat Oven to 400˚F with the rack in the center. Butter a 9x13 casserole dish. Arrange trimmed asparagus in prepared casserole dish, packing it down for a fairly flat and even surface.
  • Place a saucepan over medium heat. Melt in 3 Tbsp butter then add 2 1/2 Tbsp flour and whisk constantly for 3 minutes or until butter just starts to turn golden in color. Whisk in 2 cups half and half, 2 tsp garlic salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk until sauce just starts to thicken then remove from heat. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup parmesan and whisk until cheese is melted and incorporated.
  • Pour sauce evenly over the asparagus, leaving about 1" space on the long sides of the casserole dish. Bake uncovered at 400˚F for 15-18 minutes (depending on thickness of asparagus), or until asparagus reaches desired tenderness.
  • While the casserole is baking, make the topping: in a small mixing bowl, melt 1 Tbsp butter. Mix in 1/2 cup bread crumbs, stirring until evenly moistened, then stir in 1/2 cup remaining parmesan cheese. Halfway through baking, sprinkle the bread crumb topping evenly over the casserole then return it to the oven to finish baking.
  • When asparagus has reached desired doneness, set oven to broil for 2-3 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown. Remove from oven and serve.

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Asparagus Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two bunches fresh asparagus
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
Pinch salt
5 ounces Cheddar, grated
4 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs (about 10 crackers)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Add the asparagus to a large pot of boiling water, keeping the bundles together with rubber bands or string. Cook for a couple of minutes; the asparagus should be bright green and still crunchy. List the bundles out of the water and slice off the tough ends of the asparagus. Drop the trimmed ends back in the boiling water and lower to a simmer.
  • Run the asparagus tops under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then whisk in the milk and 1 cup of the asparagus cooking liquid. Add the salt and continue cooking until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the grated Cheddar and cook, stirring, until melted, about 1 minute.
  • Arrange the asparagus in the bottom of a 9-by-12-by-2-inch baking dish, alternating the stem ends so each serving includes both heads and stems. Thinly slice the hard-boiled eggs and arrange them over the asparagus. Pour the cheese sauce over the eggs and asparagus and sprinkle with the cracker crumbs. Bake until lightly browned and bubbles appear around the edges, about 20 minutes.

ASPARAGUS CASSEROLE



Asparagus Casserole image

Take this traditional southern side dish to the next level with smoky bacon, creamy bechamel, and sharp gruyere.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 bunches asparagus (about 2 pounds), cut into 2-inch pieces (about 6 cups)
4 thick-slices bacon (about 4 ounces), chopped (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion (from 1/2 a small onion)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 cups whole milk
4 large hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
1 cup butter crackers (such as Ritz), coarsely crushed (about 2 ounces)
1 cup shredded gruyere cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in the upper third. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice bath. Add asparagus and cook until just tender and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to ice bath; drain.
  • Return pot to medium heat. Add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes; remove bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Discard rendered fat or reserve for another use. Add butter to same pot and heat over medium until foamy. Add onion, nutmeg, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in mustard, then gradually whisk in milk and bring to a boil, whisking often. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. (You should have about 2 cups bechamel.) If not using right away, press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to keep a film from forming.
  • Spread 1 cup bechamel evenly across the bottom of a 9-inch-square baking dish. Reserving 1 cup for topping, sprinkle remaining asparagus over bechamel. Arrange reserved bacon in an even layer on top, followed by the sliced eggs, cracker crumbs and remaining bechamel. Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup asparagus down the center of the casserole, then sprinkle the cheese evenly on top and season with black pepper. Bake until sauce is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Turn oven to broil setting and continue to cook until golden-brown on top, 3 to 4 minutes more. Let cool 15 minutes on a wire rack before serving.
