Ingredients
½cupcream cheese
½cupgrated parmesan cheese
1heaping cup of pureed asparagus(about 25 thin stalks with ends trimmed off)
Trim the ends of your asparagus and blanch in a thin layer of boiling water for about a minute or so, just long enough to turn the stalks bright green and tender. Immediately plunge the spears in an ice bath or rinse with super cold water to halt the cooking process and then strain.
Add them to the food processor and pulse to puree. You'll want one heaping cup of gorgeous green puree. Add smashed garlic, spices, and cheeses to the processor and pulse to whip ingredients together. Taste and adjust spices to taste.
Move mixture to a baking dish and top with a little extra grated cheese and a thin layer of panko bread crumbs.
Top with a barely there drizzle of olive oil and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Dive in with crunchy tortilla chips and your favorite dippers!
