Warm Asparagus Melted Cheese Recipes

ASPARAGUS WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• Cut off and discard about 2 inches of the stem ends of the asparagus. The remaining spears should be about 6 inches long.
• Bring about 2 quarts of water to a boil in a saucepan and add salt.
• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Add the asparagus to the water. When the water returns to a boil, let cook 3 minutes or to the desired degree of doneness. Cooking time will depend on the size of the asparagus. Drain quickly.
• Arrange the asparagus in overlapping layers on a baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with cheese and butter. Place under the broiler for about 2 1/2 minutes or until the cheese is glazed.

CHEESY BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• 1. Line a baking sheet with some tinfoil. Place the asparagus on the baking sheet and drizzle with the melted butter.
• 2. Sprinkle the house seasoning and Parmesan cheese over the top.
• 3. Place in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes.
• 4. Remove and top with the mozzarella cheese and a little sprinkling of Italian seasoning over the top.
• 5. Return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese and let it begin to brown.

ASPARAGUS, HAM, AND CHEESE MELTS

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In a small bowl stir together Parmesan and mayonnaise. Trim asparagus to fit bread and arrange asparagus in a skillet just large enough to hold it in one layer. Add 1/2 inch salted cold water and cook asparagus, covered, over moderately high heat 5 minutes, or until just tender. In a colander drain asparagus well.
• Arrange bread on a baking sheet and butter top of each slice. Broil bread about 6 inches from heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and arrange ham on each slice, folding or trimming to fit if necessary. Arrange asparagus on ham and spread with Parmesan mixture. Broil sandwiches about 3 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

CHEESY BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread out asparagus on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with olive oil, fresh garlic, and cracked peppercorns. Toss to coat evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Spread Gouda cheese down the center of the asparagus spears and broil until cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with pink Himalayan salt.

SAUTéED ASPARAGUS, TOASTED ALMONDS & MANCHEGO CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and plunge in the asparagus. Cook for 2-3 mins, drain, then leave them to sit somewhere warm.
• Next, put the butter into a cold pan with the almonds. Carefully heat it up, watching that the butter doesn't get too dark. When it just turns golden brown and is beginning to foam, remove from the heat and pour in the lemon juice to stop the cooking.
• Arrange the asparagus onto 6 serving plates and spoon over some of the brown butter and almonds. Shave the cheese with a peeler, scatter over and serve.

CHEESY BAKED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Arrange asparagus in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish; add cream, salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella, cashews and Parmesan cheese. Bake until asparagus is tender and cheese is melted and golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Transfer dish to wire cooling rack; let stand 5 minutes before serving.

WARM ASPARAGUS, MELTED CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a deep pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Trim any woody ends from the asparagus and lower the spears gently into the water as soon as it is boiling. Cook for four or five minutes, until tender enough to bend. Lift the spears out with a slotted spoon and lower them into a shallow baking dish. Brush them lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
• Preheat the broiler. Slice the cheese thickly-smaller whole cheeses can simply be sliced in half horizontally-and lay them over the top of the spears. Place under a hot broiler for four or five minutes till the cheese melts. Eat immediately, while the cheese is still runny.
