This has become a famous dish around our house! I like to make it for company, and friends are always asking me for the recipe. It's so versatile. You can serve it with fish, ham, turkey or chicken. My hobby is collecting recipes. I've put together 12 large notebook-sized books of them over the years-in alphabetical order. Asparagus is up front, of course! My husband and I were both raised on farms. We're retired now and enjoying life on our place surrounded by trees, birds and squirrels.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (convection oven to 425°F). Brush a copper or ceramic gratin dish with a little of the melted butter.
- Trim the asparagus: you will find that white asparagus needs to be trimmed much higher-roughly halfway up the stalks, as a rule of thumb. Slice the spears in half lengthwise and lay them in the buttered gratin dish. Sprinkle with most of the lemon thyme leaves, saving a few for garnish.
- Now put the crème fraîche and mustard into a heavy pan and place over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat slightly and let bubble to reduce by about a quarter. Season the reduced mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Meanwhile, put the bread crumbs in a bowl, add the Parmesan, parsley, and some pepper, and toss with your fingers to combine.
- Pour the mustardy crème fraîche over the asparagus, then scatter the crumb mixture on top, distributing it evenly. Drizzle over the rest of the melted butter. Bake the gratin on the middle shelf of the oven until the top is crisp and golden and the cream bubbles up around the sides of the dish, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus that are firm and have tight tips. Avoid asparagus that are limp or have woody stems.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. You can do this by snapping the asparagus stalk at the point where it naturally breaks.
- Blanch the asparagus. Blanching the asparagus helps to preserve its color and flavor. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus is bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and place it in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Make the cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is what makes this dish so rich and creamy. To make the cheese sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Assemble the dish. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking dish. Arrange the asparagus in the baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the asparagus. Top with breadcrumbs. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbly and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
- Serve immediately. Asparagus Parmesan au gratin is best served hot. Enjoy!
Conclusion:
Asparagus Parmesan au gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be prepared in advance. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
