Very easy and very yummy! <br/><br/>I added just a little more cheese (~1/4 cup) on top just before I moved to the broiler, and used cherry tomatoes (halved) instead of a medium tomato.

This turned out excellent. Very flavorful and easy to make. I cooked it in my cast iron frying pan and it got a nice brown crust on the bottom.

This is delicious! Very simple and quick to whip up. My husband loves it. I think the next time I will substitute broccoli for the asparagus.
