How to Make Cheesy Asparagus And Egg Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Drain one (14.5 ounce) can of asparagus, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. In a greased 8x8 inch or 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the asparagus, half of 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the egg mixture.
  5. Repeat layers with remaining asparagus, cheese, and egg mixture.
  6. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until smooth.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup evaporated milk and the reserved 1/4 cup asparagus liquid. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  8. Pour the sauce evenly over the casserole.
  9. Sprinkle 1/4 cup slivered almonds and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
