Icelandic Asparagus & Ham Bake

Features:
    Cuisine:

    Great ingredients but came out too soft. I did add 2 extra pieces of bread after reading Loof's review just to make sure it wasn't soft. You don't need to add any milk because there was plenty of liquid; I will reduce the liquid just a tad next time. ZWT9 made for the Gourmet Goddesses July 2013

    Note: Seasonings of Choice Can Be Added to Suit Individual Preferences (esp Pepper & Garlic). My Experience Was the Combo of Canned Mushrooms & Asparagus + the Reserved Liquid Used + the Ham Meant That No Added Salt Was Needed.
