Steps:

  • Stuffing: Cut and cube bread, then lay on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Bake at about 320 just long enough for the bread to get firm and start to brown. Remove from oven nd add to a large mixing bowl. While bread cools in mixing bowl sauté celery, onion, and garlic in butter until almost tender. Pour butter and vegetables over bread cubes, add egg and mix well. Rock Hens: Stuff hens with stuffing. Drizzle enough oil over heans to evenly coat them. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then rub with hands to evenly coat. Place hens on a racked baking pan and roast for about 45 minutes at 375. Once hens are almost done, turn heat to 400 and roast for an additional 10 minutes.

Once asparagus is nice and tender, turn heat to high just long enough sear the outside.
