Spargel mit Gorgonzola

Asparagi al Gorgonzola is a traditional appetizer hailing from Piedmont. It's made with blanched asparagus that are dried and placed in a baking dish, then covered with butter and Gorgonzola cheese. The combination is baked until the cheese melts and develops a lightly browned color. It's important to note that there are two types of Gorgonzola cheese – the dolce variety is yellow, creamy, and more suitable for this appetizer, while the piccante variety is white, crumbly, and should be avoided when making asparagi al Gorgonzola.
