Drain well. Combine 1-1/2 cups cheese and the bread crumbs on the plate. In a shallow bowl, stir together eggs, salt and pepper sauce. Dip each asparagus spear in egg mixture and roll in crumbs to coat well. Chill 20 minutes. In a skillet, heat butter and oil on medium-high. Brown the spears in a single layer, turning carefully.
