This is the kind of recipe I live for! Something with a wild presentation and bonus if it contains at least one weird ingredient or flavor combination. This time it's looked down upon canned deviled ham (which I happen to love!)!
{Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book 1961}
"A good meal is no farther away than your can opener! Keep a can of deviled ham on hand for this luncheon special. For a gay look, arrange the platter of asparagus as shown; tuck in "sails" of deviled-ham-and-cheese toast. Spoon Jiffy Mustard Sauce down center of the platter."
This has been one of my most favorite recipes I have made this year. It looks amazing and it is very flavorful and delicious. I thought twice about making the "Jiffy Mustard Sauce" because I always feel hot mayo isn't a good idea but I couldn't come up with a good substitute so I decided to take the chance. It was worth the food/salmonella poisoning! It was the perfect accompaniment for this dish.
The only things I did a little different was I steamed fresh asparagus rather than frozen. I also used a spicy brown mustard in the Jiffy Mustard sauce rather than plain yellow.
If it wasn't for all the calories, carbs, fat, and sodium in this dish I would eat it once a week. I guess those are all the contributing factors that make it so yummy!
