Ingredients
- 6 medium plum (Roma) tomatoes (2 1/2 to 3 inches long)
- 36 thin asparagus spears (1/4 inch diameter)

Instructions

Step1Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Seed tomatoes, using teaspoon; remove flesh, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell. Cut thin slice from rounded side of tomato halves, if necessary, so they'll rest level in pan. Drain tomatoes, hollow sides down, on paper towels.
-
Step2Break off tough ends of asparagus. From tip end, cut off top 3 inches of each spear (reserve remaining portions of spear for another use). In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 inch water to boiling. Add asparagus pieces. Heat to boiling and boil 2 minutes; drain and set aside.
-
Step3In same 1-quart saucepan, beat milk and sauce mix with wire whisk until smooth. Add butter. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, until thickened and smooth.
-
Step4Set oven control to broil. In 13x9-inch pan, place tomato halves. In each tomato half, arrange 3 asparagus pieces lengthwise with tips extended over stem end of tomato. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce over asparagus-filled tomato halves, allowing some sauce to fill tomato hollow. Sprinkle with cheese.
-
Step5Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 2 to 4 minutes or until tomatoes are hot and cheese just begins to brown. If desired, heat remaining sauce until hot; serve with tomatoes.
