How to Make Savory Asparagus Custards
This recipe calls for spring asparagus, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh basil. When you only need a small amount of fresh herbs like basil, try buying fresh herbs in the tube at grocery store. They last for 3 months in the refrigerator and are sure to come in handy.

Step-By-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the ramekins or 6 cups in a muffin tin with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Add olive oil and cooking spray to a medium non-stick sauté pan over medium heat and sauté the asparagus and sun dried tomatoes for 8-10 minutes or until asparagus begins to soften. If asparagus is really thick, add a couple of Tbsps. of water to the pan and cover for 5 minutes to steam, then continue sautéing until all liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
- Whisk together basil, egg substitute, skim milk, flour, salt and pepper until smooth with no lumps.
- Divide the asparagus mixture evenly among the six ramekins or muffin tins. Cups will be full.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the asparagus just to the top, do not overfill.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the custards are puffed and just starting to brown.
- Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Then turn the custards out of the ramekins or muffin tins and serve.
