S<br />
peaking of asparagus, spring just isn’t official without the arrival of this beloved<br />
vegetable. <strong>The</strong>se simple hors d’oeuvre are so good, don’t be surprised if they disappear<br />
before your very eyes. This recipe is easily doubled if you are serving a group.<br />
Savoury Asparagus Appetizer<br />
1 pound asparagus, tough ends<br />
trimmed<br />
½ cup mayonnaise<br />
½ cup Dijon mustard<br />
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice<br />
1 ½ cups bread crumbs (I like using<br />
Panko)<br />
¾ cup Parmesan cheese<br />
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.<br />
Combine the mayo, mustard and<br />
lemon juice in a medium bowl.<br />
Combine the bread crumbs and<br />
Parmesan cheese. Dip an<br />
asparagus spear in the mayo<br />
Asparagus is one such<br />
perennial and oldest<br />
known herb to the<br />
human civilization.<br />
mixture, covering the entire spear. Roll the asparagus in<br />
the bread crumb mixture so that the spear is completely<br />
covered. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet lined<br />
with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining<br />
asparagus. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and turn the<br />
asparagus over. Bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until<br />
golden brown and smelling delicious.<br />
Let cool for a few minutes and serve immediately.<br />
Serves about 4 as an appetizer.<br />
