Cook Time: 35 Min
Serving Size: 6 Servings
Ingredients
3/4 cup water
6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
FILLING:
1 pound fresh asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup diced onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups diced fully cooked ham
Directions
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, bring water and butter to a boil. Add flour and salt all at once; stir until a smooth ball forms. Remove from the heat; let stand for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each; beat until smooth. Stir in 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
2. Using 1/4 cupfuls of dough, form a ring around the sides of a greased 10-in. quiche pan or pie plate (mounds should touch). Top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, cook asparagus in a small amount of water for 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain.
4. In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; add cheeses and stir until melted.
5. Stir in ham and asparagus; spoon into ring. Serve immediately.

I will pass on adding ham, but everything else looks wonderful!

Leave out the extra salt, use low salt ham or chicken, add some herbs, maybe. Thanks for sharing.

No thanks. Between the cholesterol and sodium in this recipe, it is a heart attack waiting to happen!
