Asparagus Timbale - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 scallion, chopped
1 cup fresh asparagus
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup swiss cheese, grated
1/2 cup milk

Preparation

Cut asparagus into 1 inch pieces. In a small frying pan, melt the butter and saute the scallion and asparagus for a few minutes until both are fairly soft. Place the mixture in the bottom of a well-oiled 1 quart casserole.
In a bowl, beat the cheese, milk, salt and tarragon into the egg. Pour this mixture over the asparagus mixture in the casserole.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve.
