How to Make Penzey's Ham And Asparagus Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 pound asparagus (trimmed) and 1/4 cup chopped green onions. Sauté until tender-crisp, about 8 minutes, stirring frequently.
  4. Add 1 cup diced ham and sauté for the last 2 minutes.
  5. Transfer the asparagus and ham mixture to the prepared baking pan.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs (or 2 cups egg beaters), 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1 clove garlic (minced), and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Whisk until smooth and pour over the ham and asparagus mixture in the baking pan.
  8. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  10. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
