Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups coarse fresh bread crumbs (from 3 large slices rustic bread)
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 small bunch asparagus (about 12 ounces), trimmed
4 medium white- or red-skinned potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (1 ounce), plus more for serving
6 thin slices prosciutto
Chive blossoms, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss bread-crumbs with oil; season with salt and pepper. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and toast until crisp and just beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Increase oven temperature to 475 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil; add asparagus. Return to a boil and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 60 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Add potatoes to pot; cook until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain. Arrange potatoes in the bottom of an 8 1/2-by-11 1/2-inch or 2-quart baking dish (about 1 1/2 inches deep).
  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook until it has a slightly nutty aroma, about 30 seconds. Gradually (to avoid lumps) whisk in milk. Bring mixture to a boil and cook, whisking, until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat; add both cheeses and whisk until melted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Arrange prosciutto and half of asparagus on top. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with remaining asparagus, then bread-crumbs. (Dish can be made to this point and refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day; add 10 minutes to baking time.) Bake until bubbling around edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly; serve, sprinkled with more Pecorino and chive blossoms.

CHICKEN AND ASPARAGUS AU GRATIN



Chicken and Asparagus Au Gratin image

The recipe is from a Betty Crocker cookbook, 1954, and I use it frequently. I've tried it with ham instead of chicken and other green vegetables but it was not good. Use fresh asparagus--I steam pieces for about 2 min. I always make a double batch and freeze one. For color, I like to serve with Harvard beets, or in summer with sliced tomatoes.
