This was a great recipe! The kids loved it. I added some parmesan cheese to the crackers and that came out good too.
I'm glad I didn't waste a whole bunch of asparagus on this recipe. I used maybe 10 or 12 lengths chopped them as instructed and followed the directions. The crumbs would NOT stick to the asparagus even after being dipped in the egg. I tried shaking excess egg off even THAT didn't help. I came away with greasy asparagus and greasy fried cracker crumbs. I'll stick with grilled or pan-fried asparagus with butter but thanks anyway.:)
I only tried it with a couple of stalks just in case and the others are right this isn't worth the time and is a great waste of fresh asparagus

My suggestion would be to forget the egg and crackers. Instead use a tempura batter and it turns out great. I have used it this way at parties and it is a favorite (also use other veggies meat etc. with an electric skillet in the middle of the table). and everyone gets what they want.
I thought this recipe was great. I used the crackers and some italian bread crumbs and some parmesan cheese. I also used egg beaters instead of the egg. The kids didn't complain and my husband took thirds.
My daughter HATES asparagus but she loved this! This was a huge hit with my family. I ended having to make another batch that night it was so good!
i used bread crumbs instead of crackers...really added a nice taste to it.
MY mom Hates asparagus but when it's cooked this way she loved it. The next day we all ate it re-heated still fantastic.
I used eggbeater & a little milk then dredged stalk pieces in italian bread crumbs mixed w/equal amount of flour so crumbs would adhere when frying. Came out pretty good...actually better than fried asparagus I had at Figs--a Todd English restaurant!
