A unique asparagus casserole recipe made from fresh asparagus, milk, cheese, hard cooked eggs, and buttered bread crumbs. Serve as a vegetable side dish. It is baked in the oven and has a nice creamy sauce when it is finished baking.
Other than the usual steamed asparagus, sometimes it can be difficult to come up with creative recipes for using up a bunch of asparagus you may have purchased or that is growing in your garden.
This recipe is different because it combines the fresh vegetable with the crunch of buttered bread crumbs and a creamy cheese sauce.
Serve this vegetable casserole in the spring when asparagus is in season for a weekend breakfast or brunch recipe.
This vegetable recipe is a bit lighter than the traditional brunch fare and just the thing to serve for a brunch menu, especially when the asparagus is plentiful and fresh.
