1 lb. Asparagus
2 Tb. butter
1/2 C. Milk
3 lg. eggs
1/2 C. flour
salt and pepper
pinch of sugar
3 oz. swiss cheese

1. Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, add enough salted water to reach a depth of 2 inches and bring to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Cut the spears crosswise into thirds.

2. In a medium cast-iron skillet, add the butter. Place the skillet in the oven to melt the butter.

3. In a medium bowl, microwave the milk on high for about 30 seconds. Whisk in the eggs, then the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the sugar.

4. Add the asparagus pieces to the hot cast-iron skillet and pour the batter on top. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and bake until puffed golden-brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Top with the remaining cheese.

NOTE: I do not have a cast iron skillet, so I just used a regular metal skillet and it worked great!

Number of Servings: 6
