Ingredients

1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless Italian bread

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (about 3 ounces)

1/2 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese

1/4 cup all purpose flour

4 large eggs

Directions

Butter eight 3/4-cup custard cups or souffle dishes.

Coat with breadcrumbs.

Cut off asparagus tips. Cook tips in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.

Drain; reserve tips and 1 cup cooking liquid. Coarsely chop asparagus stalks.

Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Add onion; saute until tender, about 6 minutes.

Add stalks; saute until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.

Add reserved asparagus cooking liquid. Cover; simmer until stalks are tender, about 12 minutes.

Uncover; cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 5 minutes.

Transfer to food processor; puree.

Add Parmesan cheese, ricotta and flour. Using on/off turns, process just until blended. Season with salt and pepper.

Whisk eggs in bowl to blend.

Add asparagus puree; whisk to blend.

Stir in all but 16 asparagus tips.

Divide custard among cups.

Place cups in roasting pan. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill puddings and remaining asparagus tips.)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Pour hot water into pan to come 1 inch up sides of cups.

Bake puddings until set, about 35 minutes.

Let stand 10 minutes. Invert onto plates.

Garnish with asparagus tips. .

That's it! Buon Appetito...enjoy!
