*Blanching is a cooking process where the food, usually a vegetable or fruit, is plunged into boiling water, removed after a very brief time and immediately plunged into ice water or placed under cold running water. The ice water halts the cooking process. Food is blanched to soften food, partially cook food or to remove a strong flavor.

“I just made this for the first time today--fantastic!! I used low-fat Kraft cheddar shreds instead of regular. The mix of bacon, asparagus, and cheese was amazing AND filling. My husband loved it, and it will be made again!”
