Loved it! I omitted the ham. Made half of the pan with fresh steamed asparagus and half with fresh mushrooms. Easy and Yummy!

We made this for our church potluck and got lots of requests. As asparagus is in season now, this was the perfect dish. Thanks BB.

Very tasty. I added extra cheese, because we love cheese. I did saute the onions a bit beforehand. I don't know why, but in dishes like this, the onion doesn't cook all that well and has a raw bite to it. I also pre-cooked the asparagus a little. Worked out perfect. :)
