Ingredients

  • 2 lb fresh asparagus
  • 3/4 C. mayonnaise
  • 1/4 C. sour cream
  • 1 1/2 t. Dijon mustard
  • 1 t. lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 t. dried or fresh chopped chives
  • 4 egg whites
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1/4 t. white pepper
  • Pinch sugar

Method

  • Steam the asparagus just until tender, do not overcook. Place in a shallow baking dish and keep warm in an oven heated to 250 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, lemon juice and chives. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the salt and a pinch of sugar, until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mayonnaise mixture, and blend completely, adding the pepper to taste.
  • Spoon the meringue over the asparagus and then broil for about 3-4 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
