Creamed Asparagus on Toast image

My mom made this when I was a kid. My wife makes it for me often. It's easy and delicious. I am not a big fan of asparagus prepared any other way. I like to pour over one slice of toast, add another on top, and then pour more over it.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used canned asparagus and it was still very good.

This was a delicious and easy dish to make. I used fresh asparagus from my garden and it was so flavorful. The cream sauce was rich and creamy, and the toast was the perfect accompaniment.
