Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Asparagus

    Wash the asparagus under cool running water. Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1-2 inches off the bottom.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute to create a roux.

  2. 3

    Add Milk and Cream

    Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to prevent lumps. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil.

  3. 4

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine Asparagus and Sauce

    In a greased baking dish, arrange the prepared asparagus spears in a single layer. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the asparagus.

  2. 6

    Prepare Topping

    In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, additional grated Parmesan cheese, and paprika.

  3. 7

    Top the Dish

    Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the cheese sauce covering the asparagus.

Baking

  1. 8

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dish for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the asparagus is tender.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Asparagus Au Gratin!
