Ingredients for Asparagus Supreme
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed
- Dry Onion Soup Mix
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
How to Make Asparagus Supreme
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Steam asparagus for 10 minutes until tender-crisp. Alternatively, you can blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
- While asparagus is steaming, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion soup mix until well combined.
- Arrange the steamed asparagus in a single layer in an ungreased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
- Pour the melted butter and soup mix evenly over the asparagus.
- Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
