Asparagus Toast

Begin by submerging the asparagus into a substantial pot or skillet, filling it with water. Bring this mixture to a rolling boil before gradually decreasing the heat to a lower medium setting and allowing it to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender. Remove from heat and drain off the excess water.

Next, combine 3 tablespoons of butter with an equal amount of flour within the same pot over a medium-low heat setting. Continue to cook this mixture for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture has a smooth consistency.

Subsequently, introduce 1-2 tablespoons of milk into the pot with the butter-flour mixture and continue to simmer until the sauce has thickened, approximately 10-15 minutes.

Finally, toast a slice of bread and spread a small amount - roughly 1 teaspoon - of butter onto it. Spoon the creamed asparagus over the top of each piece of toast, creating a harmonious union between the two.
