ASPARAGUS HAM STRATA

Asparagus Ham Strata image

You can easily prepare this the night before for a luncheon, or in the morning for dinner. I serve it year-round for large groups, like my card and garden clubs, and make it for picnics and other occasions. Nearly every time I do, someone requests the recipe! -Ethel Pressel, New Oxford, Pennsylvania
