  • Pinch of red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion juice
  • 1 (15-ounce) can asparagus spears, drained and cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Method

  • Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat; add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Combine milk and egg yolk, stirring well; gradually add to flour mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Stir in salt, pepper, onion juice, and asparagus pieces; chill mixture thoroughly.
