This was delicous. Mine turned golden after 15 minutes (I'm using convection oven). <br/>They were still lightly hard, but not too much. <br/>For those who need more browned one: simply increase time.<br/>Fro those who prefere softer ones: cover with a tin foil and bake some more minutes.<br/>Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe.

What a nice way to dress up asparagus! We think that asparagus is wonderful just steamed and served with cracked pepper, but this was a nice change of pace for us. The butter, cream and cheese didn't make the dish as heavy as one might expect...the vibrant flavor of the asparagus still shines through. Thanks for posting.
