Asparagus With Brie Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears and steam them until they are tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
• STEP 2.While the asparagus is steaming, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
• STEP 3.Place the steamed asparagus in a baking dish and top with slices of Brie cheese.
• STEP 4.Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the Brie is melted and bubbly.
• STEP 5.Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.

Cooking Tips

• Choose asparagus spears that are firm and bright green, with tightly closed tips.
• If you prefer a stronger cheese flavor, you can substitute Camembert or Gorgonzola for the Brie.
• For added flavor, drizzle the asparagus with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper before steaming.

Storage and Serving

• Asparagus with Brie is best served immediately after baking, while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, place the asparagus in a microwave-safe dish and heat in short intervals until warmed through.
