How to Make Asparagus With Gruyre

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. If using fresh asparagus, snap off the tough bottom ends of the spears. If using frozen, rinse under cool water to separate and drain well.
  3. Wash asparagus thoroughly under cool running water and drain completely.
  4. Arrange asparagus in a single layer in an ungreased 11x7-inch baking dish.
  5. Sprinkle asparagus evenly with salt.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp.
  8. Remove the foil and drizzle melted butter evenly over the asparagus.
  9. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese generously over the asparagus.
  10. Return the baking dish to the oven (uncovered) for 5-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
