Overall, good recipe. You definitely can cut back on the bread crumbs, probably about half what the recipe calls for. What I did was I coated each asparagus spear in whipped egg and then rolled it in the bread crumb mixture, just like you would if you were making breaded chicken or fish. It takes a little more time, but the result is great. Each spear has a nice coating of the bread crumbs, but you still have the great asparagus taste.

it was so disgusting....i followed recipe to the letter....why do they let this terrible stuff onto the website? I have always had good luck with "allrecipes.com"......if I have to research all the reviews and then come up with a conclusion then it is a waste of time....I might as well refer to an old fashioned cook book

I followed the advice of others and cut the bread crumbs in half but next time I will cut it down even more, to a 1/2 cup of crumbs. The taste was ok but not great. I prefer baking my asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. I may make this again to see how it comes out with less bread crumbs.

Made a few changes and it turned out great. I used the good old French's fried onions instead of bread crumbs and just smashed them up first. And used Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan. It was great. The cooking time seems too long, though. Next time I'll break it to only 20 minutes first. YUM!!

Nasty! It's dried out asparagus with tons of bread crumbs on top. Everyone hated it.

The whole family enjoyed this recipe, although it was a tiny bit too salty for some reason?? Quick and easy to prepare and it went well with a chicken dish.

Oh my goodness. You have to love asparagus to love this recipe! Just get out a frying pan. Melt the butter, add breadcrumbs to cover the bottom of the pan, whatever darned seasonings you like, fresh steamed or canned asparagus... flip when the bottom is browned and eat it. Add the cheese if you wish. We love this stuff, and serve it at every holiday!

This was not a good recipe for our favorite spring veggie. Too many bread crumbs. It was not very flavorful and worst of all it looked unappetizing. Unfortunately it was unappetizing.

The first time I made it I used the butter and the asparagus came out somewhat mushy. The second time, I forgot to put the butter in and I cut the asparagus up in smaller bites and it was crispy and crunchy! Very Excellent! It's a rave with family and friends!

The asaragus was soggy and didn't smell very good. My husband said he'd rather I just grill it. I won't be making this again.

I am not an asparagus person so can only vouch that this side dish was so easy to prepare. My husband on the other hand, ate the whole two pounds that I cooked in one seating saying it was excellent!!

This recipe was awful. I made it on father's day and almost all of it was left, and my family loves asparagus. They all thought it was missing something. It was way too much bread crumbs and I felt it needed something to moisten the crumbs, like perhaps cream of mushroom soup with a little milk. What a waste of aspargus!

We are big fans of steamed asparagus, but I thought we'd try something new. The flavors in this recipe were too overpowering for our taste. You could hardly taste the asparagus underneath all the bread crumbs, and I cut back on the bread crumbs. If you're not an asparagus fan, this recipe might disguise the flavor enough for you. We'll be sticking to steamed asparagus for now.

I work in a church and the priests loved it. Will use again. The only thing you have to watch is the last 5 min of cooking. The topping will brown fast and crust hard with the cheese.

This was WAY over cooked. It was like mush. Unfortunately if you cooked it less the cheese wouldn't cook. Maybe just cooking it for 10 minutes and then broiling it for 3 - 4 minutes, might be the trick. But it was almost inedible. And I only used about 3/4 of a cup of breadcrumbs.

I will agree....TOO MANY BREADCRUMBS. Also, I added some crushed garlic for flavor while cooking. I do not like asparagus, but husband loves it. He wasn't a huge fan of this. Says he likes the "other" way I make it much better. Guess I will have to keep trying. Thanks for the post.
