ASPARAGUS MORNAY
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

This is a great way to serve asparagus. I can't remember where I got the recipe but I always make this when fresh asparagus is in season.
