Instructions

1. Melt the Butter:
   In a large microwave-safe glass bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of butter. Microwave on high for approximately 50 seconds or until fully melted, ensuring that it does not splatter.

2. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:
   Once the butter is melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup of pre-heated milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps.

3. Add the Cheese:
   Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, blending thoroughly until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

4. Cook the Cheese Sauce:
   Place the bowl back in the microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes. During this time, pause every 30 seconds to whisk the mixture thoroughly, ensuring an even texture.

5. Season the Sauce:
   Once the cheese sauce reaches your desired consistency, season it with salt to taste. Set the sauce aside while you prepare the asparagus.

6. Prepare the Asparagus:
   Bend each asparagus spear until it naturally breaks; discard the tough ends. This method will help maintain the tenderness of the asparagus while cooking.

7. Microwave the Asparagus:
   Arrange the asparagus spears in a microwavable glass covered dish. Position half the spears in one direction and the other half in the opposite direction to ensure even cooking.

8. Add Water:
   Pour ¼ cup of water into the dish to create steam during cooking, which will help the asparagus cook quickly and retain its vibrant green color.

9. Cooking Time:
   Cover the dish and microwave on high for 6-7 minutes. Pause every 2 minutes to carefully turn the dish and check the asparagus for doneness; it should be tender yet crisp.

10. Reheat and Serve:
    If needed, reheat the cheese sauce for 1 minute on high before serving. Pour the sauce over the cooked asparagus, ensuring a generous coating, and serve immediately. Feel free to reserve some sauce for those who might like extra.

This Asparagus With Cheese Sauce recipe is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a vegetable side dish that’s both quick and satisfying. Whether served alongside grilled meats, pasta, or as part of a festive feast, this dish will surely impress with its rich flavors and creamy texture.
