π Recipe adapted from RecipeNLG-Full
Preheat oven to 425Β°.
Break off tough ends of asparagus and boil or steam in the usual manner until bright green but still a bit firm.
Do not overcook.
Drain well.
Cut in 3/4 inch lengths. In a lightly buttered medium gratin dish, place asparagus with bread crumbs, cheese, seasonings, parsley and olive oil.
Dot with butter.
Bake until the asparagus is heated through, 6-8 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Mozzarella and place under broiler until cheese just melts.
Do not overcook cheese.
Cheddar is safer.
Good with hot crab meat casserole.
