In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of milk to create a smooth slurry.

Add the remaining milk, butter, salt, and pepper to the saucepan.

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble gently.
-
Reduce heat to low and stir in the cubed ham, chopped hard-boiled eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked asparagus, and dried parsley.

Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the ham is heated through.
