MIMI'S CAFE ASPARAGUS AND POTATO CAKE BENEDICT


This recipe has been cut down from the original 12 servings to 6 servings.
Be forewarned, that amount of salt is not a typo, I have actually cut it down a bit from the original recipe.
To make volume measurements a bit easier, 1/2 gallon of panko is roughly 8 cups and a #12 scoop should hold about 1/3 cup. Since the original recipe was for 12 this will double beautifully.
