   • If using fresh asparagus spears, bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
   • Cook the asparagus in boiling water for about 10 minutes until tender OR steam them until they are easily pierced with a fork.
   • If using canned asparagus, drain and set aside.

2. Assemble the Crepes:

   • Lay out the crepes on a clean work surface.
   • On one half of each crepe, arrange 2 asparagus spears, a generous amount of grated Gruyere cheese, and slices of avocado.

3. Fold and Cook:

   • Fold the other half of each crepe over the filling to form a semi-circle.
   • Heat a lightly greased skillet or frying pan over moderate heat.
   • Place the filled crepes in the pan and cook each side until the filling is heated through and the outside of the crepe is lightly crisped, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.

4. Serve:

   • Once cooked, transfer the crepes to a serving plate.
   • Optionally, serve with a dollop of Hollandaise sauce or any other favorite sauce for added flavor.
