I haven't made this yet, but it sounds pretty tasty, I think I may add a bit of bacon. Maybe use the bacon grease in combination of the butter for a bit of flavor? *adopted recipe*

How To Make asparagus cheese casserole

1
Preheat oven to 350.

2
In a medium saucepan set over moderate heat, melt the butter; spoon 4 tablespoons of the melted butter into a bowl and set aside.
3
Blend the flour, salt, pepper and mace into the rest of the butter and let it sit over low heat for 1-to-2 minutes; add the milk and cream and cook the sauce, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes, until it has become thick and smooth.
4
In a well-buttered, 2-quart casserole, alternate layers of the asparagus, eggs, cheddar cheese and almonds; pour the cream sauce over the layers.
5
Combine the reserved butter, bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and scatter the topping over the surface of the casserole.
6
Bake the uncovered casserole for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the topping has browned.
