In Switzerland, this simple but classic Swiss dish is called Asperges à la Gruyère. For frozen asparagus, use 2 (10-oz) packages and rinse under cool water to separate, then drain well. This is actually a Swiss dish, not French. But there isn't a Swiss option, so I selected French which seemed the closest cuisine match for this recipe.

How To Make asparagus with gruyère

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Cut or break off tough ends of asparagus. Wash asparagus in cool running water, and drain well. Arrange asparagus in single layer in ungreased 11x7-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with salt (if using). Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 25 minutes or until asparagus is tender.
Step 3

Drizzle melted butter over asparagus; sprinkle cheese on top. Return baking dish to oven for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese softens.
