For a richer flavor, try using heavy cream instead of milk. Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cream sauce for a warm, aromatic touch. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large pot or deep skillet, submerge the trimmed asparagus in water. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until the asparagus is tender-crisp, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain thoroughly. (12 minutes)
03
StepIn the same pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour until a smooth paste forms (a roux), about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. (5 minutes)
04
StepAdd the cooked asparagus and salt to the creamy mixture. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, around 10-15 minutes. (15 minutes)
05
StepLightly butter each slice of toast with the remaining butter. Spoon the creamed asparagus generously over the buttered toast. Serve immediately and savor the exquisite flavors. (2 minutes)
