Asparagus Brunch Casserole

We love having brunch on a Saturday morning on a weekend when we can just relax and enjoy our home and being together. It is really great when the asparagus is coming up and being picked every day. That's when I really enjoy using the fresh asparagus in my brunch casserole. This is a very versatile recipe and the ingredients can be changed to fit the season. This is a great dish for a cover dish pot luck brunch and I have served it many times for a ladies brunch.

  9. One of my most favorite things is the Weekend Brunch either on Saturday, but mostly on Sunday. Miz Helen, I love your Asparagus Brunch Casserole...not surprised the asparagus is from your garden. You have the 'magic touch' to all your organic fresh grown vegetables, and this casserole is so colorful and super delicious!
