Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Combine stuffing and hot water in a medium bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a medium sauce pan over medium high heat, melt butter. Once melted, sprinkle flour over the top and whisk to combine.
- Continue to whisk for a minute, allowing the flour mixture to cook a little. Then add the milk, all at once, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Once all of the milk has been incorporated, bring to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Add a pinch each of salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Then add, a handful at a time, the cheese. Whisk in each addition until it is completely melted and then add the next handful (there should be plenty of heat in the mixture to melt all of the cheese).
- Wash asparagus and snap woody ends off (or trim bottom 2 inches off). Cut the rest into 2 inch pieces. Place in a 9"x13" baking dish along with the ham. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and stir to combine. Top with the stuffing.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.
