   2 1/2  C.            milk
   1      Lb.           fresh asparagus
   1 1/2  C.            shredded Cheddar cheese
   4                    beaten eggs
   8      Slices        stale bread
   2      Tbsp.         minced onion
   1 1/2  Tsp.          salt
     1/8  Tsp.          black pepper
   2      Tbsp.         melted butter

Cook and drain asparagus. Remove crusts from bread
slices and cut into cubes. Arrange half of bread in the bottom
of a buttered 10 x 6 x 2-inch baking dish. Cover bread with
asparagus cut in pieces (can use canned pieces rather than
fresh or frozen, cooked asparagus). Sprinkle with shredded
cheese. Cover with remaining bread. Beat eggs slightly and
add milk, minced onion, seasonings and butter. Pour over
mixture in dish. Let stand 20 minutes. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to
50 minutes or until puffed and lightly browned. Can substitute
broccoli pieces for asparagus. Serves 6.
