Springtime feast: Savor asparagus casserole for dinner delight

Asparagus is one of the most cherished vegetables in the kitchen, especially during spring when the season is in full swing. Its delicate taste and crunchy texture make it an ideal ingredient for many dishes. It's worth taking advantage of this short time to savor them, and an asparagus casserole is a great option for a family dinner. Not only is it tasty and nutritious, but also healthy!

To prepare an asparagus casserole, you need a few basic ingredients. Asparagus, of course, is crucial, but the additions that will enhance their taste are equally important. When choosing asparagus, pay attention to their freshness. Here are some tips to help you:

1. Asparagus should be firm and elastic. Avoid those that are soft or have wilted ends. Fresh asparagus has a vibrant green color and closed tips.
2. Choose medium-thick spears - they are the tastiest.
3. Fresh asparagus should have a delicate, pleasant smell. If the aroma is sour, it's better not to buy them.
4. After purchase, store the vegetables in the refrigerator; it's best to place them upright in a container with water.

If you love asparagus and have picked the best ones, you can move on to prepare an exceptionally delicious and aromatic vegetable casserole. The ingredients are healthy and mostly low-calorie, so you can enjoy a generous serving.

Ingredients:

• 1 pound of green asparagus,
• 7 ounces of cherry tomatoes,
• 1 large red bell pepper,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• 4 large eggs,
• 7 ounces of feta cheese,
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil,
• 1 teaspoon of oregano,
• 1/2 teaspoon each of basil and thyme,
• Salt and pepper.

Instructions:

1. Start by washing and drying the vegetables. Begin with the asparagus. Trim the woody ends, then cut into cubes.
2. Remove the seed core from the bell pepper and cut it into strips. You can cut the tomatoes in half, but it is not necessary.
3. Crush the garlic using a press.
4. Place all vegetables in a baking dish, drizzle them with olive oil, and sprinkle with spices. Mix thoroughly so the ingredients are evenly seasoned.
5. Beat the eggs with a whisk or fork (as for scrambled eggs) until you have a uniform mixture. Crumble half of the cheese and add it to the eggs. Pour this mixture over the vegetables. You can shake the dish so the mixture spreads into every nook and cranny.
6. Place slices of feta cheese on top.
7. Put the casserole in an oven preheated to 390°F and bake for 20 minutes.

The asparagus casserole tastes best warm. It is a wonderful option for dinner with family or friends. It doesn’t take much time to prepare, and the end result will surely impress everyone. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and enjoy the taste of spring on your plate. You can also modify the recipe by adding salmon, chicken, or tofu.
