Creamed Asparagus on Toast Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Vegetable Side Dish Recipes. (Creamed Asparagus on Toast Recipe). My mom made this when I was a kid. My wife makes it for me often. It's easy and delicious. I am not a big fan of asparagus prepared any other way. I like to pour over one slice of toast, add another on top, and then pour more over it.
