Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, blanched asparagus, heavy cream, Gruyère cheese, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Mix well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Prepare for Baking

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your asparagus and mushroom gratin!
