Roasted Asparagus (with Cheese)
Roasted Asparagus with Cheese is a simple yet delightful dish comprising juicy asparagus and creamy cheese that will instantly transform any meal into a gourmet feast!
Ingredients
- ½ lb. asparagus
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic finely crushed
- 1 cup cream
- 1/2 cup mozzarella grated
- ¼ cup Parmesan grated
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F.
- Pour the oil into an oven-proof dish and add the asparagus, garlic, cream, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- Look for firm, bright green stalks with tight tips. This indicates fresh asparagus and should roast beautifully.
- Always trim the rigid ends off your asparagus spears before roasting them. They should easily snap off but feel free to use a knife for a clean cut.
- For a deeper garlic flavor, heat your olive oil with the crushed garlic before tossing it with the asparagus.
- You want cheese that easily melts. Mozzarella and Parmesan are two such cheeses that will turn out all gooey and creamy. The ratios are up to you.
- When the dish is almost done, keep a close eye on it to avoid the cheese burning or the asparagus overcooking.
