Gruyere is a faintly nutty tasting cheese, a bit like Swiss Emmenthaler but with a fuller flavor and smaller holes.

How To Make asparagus with gruyere (asperges a la gruyere)

Step 1

Break off tough ends of asparagus as far down as stalks snap easily. Wash asparagus and arrange in single layer in ungreased 11 x 7 x 1 1/2 inch baking dish.

Step 2

Sprinkle with salt.
Step 3

Cover with foil.
Step 4

Bake at 350 degrees until tender, about 25 minutes.
Step 5

Heat butter over low heat until light brown. Drizzle over asparagus and sprinkle with cheese.
Step 6

Place in oven just until cheese softens, 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 7

NOTE: 2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen asparagus spears can be substituted. Rinse asparagus under running cold water to separate. Drain. Cover and cook in oven about 35 minutes.
