Asparagus is one of my favorite vegetables, and this is one of my favorite ways to prepare it. If you’ve only ever had canned asparagus, you have to try freshly prepared asparagus… such a difference.
Asparagus is a regular side at our house, especially on holidays, and I love inlcuding the leftovers with Eggs Benedict for breakfast the next day! If you are cooking this for Thanksgiving or another holiday, check out a full sample menu and shopping list here.
I prefer asparagus with hollandaise sauce, though it is great by itself. If you’re not a fan of asparagus, I’d encourage you to try it this way… you might change your mind!
