1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
3 cups milk
-
1 and 1/4 cups chicken broth

3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
1/2 pound sliced ham - diced

5 hard cooked eggs - quartered

Cup asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces. Cook in a small amount of water until it changes color (about 2 minutes), drain and set aside.
Melt margarine in a 3-quart sauce pan. Stir in flour until smooth. Add broth, salt, cayenne pepper and bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add cheese, stir until it melts. Add eggs, ham and asparagus. Heat through. Serve over toasted English muffins.
I used to think asparagus and eggs weren't meant to be together... until I tried this. It's awesome!
