Asparagus spears are dipped in an egg white-mayonnaise mixture, then coated in Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs before a trip to the oven to bake into a crunchy, delicious side dish. Very easy and delicious!
Make sure your asparagus is very dry to start or egg white will not stick therefore your crumbs will not stick. I mixed Panko with finer ground crumbs for extra crunch. I found finer ground crumbs stick better than course crumbs. Panko and Parmesan is the best. I've tried different green and yellow squash, Zucchini, carrots and other veggies. I can hardly wait to try it on the outdoor grill.
Read Morewe tried this against the asparagus with sliced almonds and parmesan recipe from this site. we enjoyed this recipe but, the other just had so much more flavor. so 3.5 stars. if the compition wasn't so strong maybe 4 stars.

This was marvelous! Only difference I made was I used one WHOLE egg instead of 2 egg whites.
I sprinkled maybe 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. It was great! I also used some garlic powder. Yummy
I bought a bunch of asparagus (on sale for a buck) for the first time and I needed a simple recipe and this was just the ticket. I was out of lemon so I added a little lemon pepper spice instead--now I'm not a fan of spicy food but it was a little overpowering. I guess most other people would like it that way but, not my wife, so next time I'll just leave it out. I did use olive oil sprinkled on but next time I will get a can of generic olive oil cooking spray and spray both the grill rack and evenly coat the spears once they are laid on the rack. I don't like to waste anything so I spread the unused panko-cheese mixture over the spears which were closely spaced on the rack before baking it. These taste better and are healthier than french fries!
This is a great way to serve asparagus. The only adjustment I made was to sprinkle parm on the plate serving
