    Ingredients

    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
      3/4 tsp. Salt
      2 lbs. trimmed Asparagus
      2 slices of White Bread
      3 tblsp. Olive oil
      1 lg. finely chopped Shallot
      1 tblsp. chopped Parsley
      1 tblsp. Lemon juice
      Optional wedges of Lemon

    Directions

    1. 1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In 1-quart saucepan, cook shallot in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-low heat until golden, about 6 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; cool slightly.

      2) Tear bread into small crumbs. Spread crumbs on jelly-roll pan and bake 3 to 6 minutes until golden.

      3) In 12-inch skillet, heat 1 inch water to boiling over high heat. Add asparagus and 1/2 teaspoon salt; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, 5 to 10 minutes until asparagus spears are tender; drain. Place asparagus in shallow,
      broiler-safe dish; drizzle with 2 teaspoons olive oil.

      4) Preheat broiler if manufacturer directs. In medium bowl, toss bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, shallot mixture, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle bread-crumb mixture over asparagus. Place dish in broiler 5 inches from source of heat; broil
      about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer to platter to serve, if you like. Serve with lemon wedges.
