How to Make Asparagus And Corn Bake

Steam or microwave 1 pound of fresh asparagus until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
Cut the cooked asparagus into 3cm (1 1/4 inch) lengths.
Remove crusts from 4 slices of bread (about 1/2 inch thick) and cut into 3-4cm (1 1/4 - 1 1/2 inch) squares.
Grease an 8-cup ovenproof dish. Arrange bread squares to cover the base and sides of the dish.
Sprinkle half of 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the bread.
Top with the asparagus and 1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots.
In a bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
Beat in 1 cup of creamed corn, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the shallots and asparagus.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Brush the exposed bread edges with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is golden brown.
Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm, sprinkled with extra shallots (optional).
