Cheesy Baked Asparagus

Baked Asparagus with Cheese

I know I know, asparagus is glorious just as it is. BUT, give me this one. When I say asparagus baked in cheese is potentially one of the most delicious things in the world, I kinda mean it 😳 I promised you 4 ingredients, and of course besides olive oil/seasoning, I’m keeping to that promise. Here’s what you’ll need:

Cheesy Asparagus Ingredients

Asparagus – Go for medium thickness. Garlic – Baked asparagus and garlic is a match made in heaven! Mozzarella – For that cheese pull goodness. Parmesan – For that golden crisp.

Mozzarella is perfect for this recipe as its subtle flavour doesn’t overpower the asparagus. I’d stay away from cheddar for this recipe as it does overpower it. The only sub I’d offer would be Gruyere in place of the parmesan.

When it comes to baking asparagus, it truly couldn’t be easier. In prep, all you need to do is remove the woody ends from the asparagus. You don’t need to peel asparagus or trim any other part. To remove the woody ends of the asparagus I simply line them up and slice up to an inch (depending on size). I know the classic way is to bend and snap, but I feel you end up losing too much of the asparagus. A small bit of white won’t hurt anybody 😁
