Creamed Asparagus on Toast
My mom always made creamed asparagus when I was a kid. It's delicious on toast! I like to pour over one slice of toast, add another on top, and then pour more creamed asparagus on top.
fresh asparagus, trimmed
2
pounds
butter, divided
5
tablespoons
all-purpose flour
3
tablespoons
milk
2
cups
salt
1
teaspoon
bread, toasted
6
slices
 Place asparagus into a large pot or skillet and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
  Mix 3 tablespoons butter and flour together in the same pot over medium-low heat until flour is dissolved and mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add milk, asparagus, and salt to butter-flour mixture and simmer until thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  Spread about 1 teaspoon butter onto each piece of toast. Pour creamed asparagus over each piece of toast.
