Ingredients

1.5 lbs 680g asparagus woody ends removed
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and black pepper to taste
8 oz cream cheese softened
2 tablespoons half-half cream
1 cup mozzarella shredded
1/3 parmesan cheese shredded
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).
Spread the asparagus in a single layer in your casserole dish. Toss stalks in olive oil, salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and half-half cream. Mix until smooth. Then, add a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
Spread cheese mixture over the asparagus in the casserole dish in an even layer. Then sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the asparagus is tender.
Remove the casserole from the oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and return it to the oven. Broil for about 2 mins.
Remove dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

It's important to remove the end from each asparagus stalk because they're really tough.
Try other spices in this recipe if you want. Garlic powder, onion powder or paprika would all be yummy.
Use purple or white asparagus along with green, if desired.
Be careful not to burn your casserole while broiling.
