Asparagus au gratin with grated cheese from L'Etivaz à Rebibe PDO

1
Peel the asparagus.

Plunge them into boiling salted water with the butter and a little sugar. Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes from the time they come back to the boil.

The asparagus is cooked when the tip of the knife can easily penetrate the stem.
4
Drain them and place them on a dish covered with a cloth to soak up any excess water.
5
Arrange the asparagus on the plates. Cover half the asparagus, tip-side down, with Etivaz. Sprinkle with the breadcrumbs mixed with the wild garlic.

Make a beurre noisette and pour over the cheese and breadcrumbs. Lightly brown under the salamander.
