Fried Asparagus

1 Pound Asparagus, trimmed
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Milk
1 Cup Fine dry bread crumbs
Olive oil for frying
Salt & pepper to taste
4 Ounce Freshly grated Romano cheese


Cook asparagus spears in boiling salted water until barely tender. Drain on
paper towels. In wide bowl, beat egg with milk. Dip asparagus spears into
egg mixture, then into bread crumbs. Heat enough oil to cover asparagus to
364 degrees in deep fryer or large skillet. Diameter of pan should exceed
length of spears. Fry coated asparagus, a few at a time, until lightly
browned, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Season with salt and
pepper. Sprinkle with grated cheese.
