Gratin Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Trim the asparagus and cut them into 2-inch pieces. Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

3

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the young onions and sauté until they are crispy and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the farm eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

5

In a greased baking dish, arrange the blanched asparagus evenly. Pour the egg and cream mixture over the asparagus, then sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese on top.

6

Scatter the crispy young onions over the cheese layer.

7

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

8

Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
