Ingredients
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream
– 2 bunches asparagus
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups Monterey cheese
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, which sets the stage for even baking. Add the heavy whipping cream to the bottom of a baking dish to create a creamy base. Place the asparagus in the dish and season it with salt and pepper for a simple flavor boost.
Next, top the asparagus with the Monterey cheese and grated Parmesan cheese to achieve that gooey, golden finish. Slide the dish into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the asparagus becomes tender. This method keeps prep time to just 5 minutes, with a total time of around 20 minutes.
Once out of the oven, let it cool briefly for the best texture. For a helpful tip, try baked stuffed apples as another easy side to pair with this dish. Remember, adjustments for dietary needs, like vegan cheese, can make it just as delicious.
