Very nice and differant way to serve asparagus, I made this exactly as listed except sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan on the top before baking. Nice firm custard like bake with the wonderful blend of flavors of the cheese and parm. I think it would be even better with fresh asparagus steamed or microwaved prior to baking and maybe add a little salt and pepper. Thanks for a lovely side to our dinner last night.
