White asparagus never sees the light of day until it is harvested. These are the super tender shoots of the asparagus plant, gown under mounds of earth. Once they are peeled and poached, they are as tender as butter and have a distinctive earthy flavor.

This mousse captures the essence of white asparagus with this creamy mousse. Blended with real eggs and cream, the asparagus remains the centerpiece. Serve spread on bread or crackers and topped with a piquillo pepper or slice of boiled egg.
