Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly butter an 8 inch baking dish.
Step 2
Steam or microwave asparagus only until barely tender; immediately rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry and set aside.
Step 3
Heat milk in the microwave until it is hot but not boiling.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 Tbsp of butter. Add the flour, and whisk for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in hot milk.
Step 5
Increase the heat to medium and bring milk to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5 minutes).
Step 6
Whisk in wine, Dijon mustard, and nutmeg. Add cheese and whisk until melted. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7
Arrange bread slices, overlapping as needed, in the prepared baking dish.
Step 8
Pour the cheese sauce over the asparagus and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Step 9
Bake until the sauce is bubbling and golden brown – about 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
