ASPARAGUS AU GRATIN

- 1 gill (½ cup) white sauce
- 1 tablespoonful grated cheese
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoonful cream
- Few drops lemon juice
- Salt, pepper, paprika, and grated nutmeg to taste
Cut the tops from the rolls, scoop the soft part of the crumb, and place them in the oven to get dry and crisp. Boil the asparagus tips in boiling salted water till tender, then drain. Canned asparagus tips may be used, but do not boil them. Heat the sauce in a fireproof dish, add the cheese, seasonings, yolk of egg, cream, and asparagus tips.
Cook for five minutes. Fill up the rolls with this mixture, sprinkle with grated cheese, and dish on a folded napkin in an au gratin dish.
