Description
A comforting dish of asparagus in a silky cream base, topped with a blend of cheeses for a delightful side that shines during spring.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb asparagus (small/medium thickness)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
- Salt to taste
- Fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Asiago cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° and lightly grease a 1.5-2 quart baking pan.
- Wash and dry the asparagus stalks, trimming off the white ends.
- Place asparagus into the baking dish and spread them evenly.
- Whisk together heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and grated Asiago cheese in a small mixing bowl.
- Pour the heavy cream mixture all over the asparagus.
- Spread mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until asparagus is tender-crisp and cheese is golden.

Notes
For best texture, reheat in a 350° oven if needed. The dish does not freeze well due to cream and cheese separation.
