I made the sauce today for grilled asparagus. It was delicious and just as easy as you made it look. I will %100 make it again. We also had steak and potato salad.
I just do the back and forth between the eggshell method. Sometimes they break, but usually they're good.
I love asparagus. Good timing on this FB Live. I just got asparagus in my CSA box this morning.
I 'steam' my asparagus in the microwave with about a tablespoon of water.
Ha! I also got green garlic in my CSA box today!
Wrap them in some dried ham
Asparagus quiche
No garlic scapes yet, though.
Yes, Hollandaise sauce is pretty easy. But I only make enough for two. For a crowd I cheat.
That looks amazing! I can think of so many ways to use that.
Love asparagus

I like both. Today was egg and toast. Yesterday was English muffin with jelly and fruit.
Love this idea! How could you day go wrong when you’ve had brownies for breakfast!
Hi!!! Well now I might do breakfast brownies…
