INGREDIENTS

2 pounds cooked fresh asparagus spears
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1 egg, well beaten
1 teaspoon milk
Dash of salt
Sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper
8 tablespoons butter

Roll asparagus spears in bread crumbs. Whisk egg and milk together in a small, flat dish. Dip spears into egg and milk mixture and roll again in crumbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Heat butter in a large heavy skillet until just sizzling. Brown asparagus spears quickly in butter, turning with tongs.

Arrange on a preheated platter and serve immediately. Drizzle any remaining butter over top of spears with crumbs from the skillet.
