How to Make Asparagus On Toast

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg until smooth.
  2. Sauté 8 ounces of sliced cremini mushrooms in a separate pan until softened. Reserve 1/4 cup of mushroom broth.
  3. Add 1 cup of milk and the reserved 1/4 cup mushroom broth to the flour mixture. Cook, whisking constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  4. Stir in the sautéed mushrooms and heat through. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup sour cream.
  5. Steam or blanch 1 pound of trimmed asparagus until tender-crisp (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Arrange warm asparagus spears on 4 slices of toasted bread.
  7. Top with the creamy mushroom sauce and garnish with 1 tablespoon of chopped pimento (optional).
