We had this for Easter dinner tonight. Many in my family had never eaten asparagus before and were hesitant to even try it. But ..... it's a good thing I made a lot because once they tried it .... it was gone!! It's easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

This recipe is so easy and delicious. it is a quick elegant vegetable to add to any many. Using the Progresso panko bread crumbs was a lot better than using traditional bread crumbs. I will not make any alterations to this recipe--Yum!
