How to Make Asparagus And Corn Bake

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