5 tbsp. butter
2 c. diagonally sliced asparagus
1 onion, sliced
1 tbsp. flour
Salt & pepper to taste
1 c. sour cream
1 c. grated Swiss cheese
1/4 c. cracker crumbs

Melt butter (2 tablespoons) in a large skillet. Saute asparagus for 2-3 minutes or until barely tender. Remove and reserve.

In the same skillet, saute onion in 2 tablespoons of the remaining butter until soft. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute or until flour is well blended. Add sour cream and grated cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, over low heat, until cheese melts.

Spoon asparagus into a shallow greased baking dish. Top with cheese and sour cream mixture. Sprinkle and crumbs. Dot with remaining tablespoon of butter. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. If top is not browned, place under broiler for a minute or two until crumbs are lightly browned. Makes 4-6 servings.
