Ingredients:

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Nonstick spray

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Asparagus:

   • Trim the tough ends from the fresh asparagus stalks and cut them into lengths that will fit comfortably across the center of your crepes.

2. Assemble the Crepes:

   • Place 2 to 4 asparagus stalks in the center of each crepe. For an appealing presentation, arrange the tips of the asparagus in opposing directions.

3. Season and Roll:

   • Season the asparagus with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Carefully roll up the crepes, enclosing the asparagus.

4. Prepare the Baking Dish:

   • Coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.

5. Arrange the Crepes:

   • Place the rolled crepes seam-side down in the prepared baking pan.

6. Make the Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, combine the half-and-half and milk. Spoon this mixture evenly over the crepes in the baking dish.

7. Add the Cheese:

   • Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese and grated parmesan cheese generously over the crepes.

8. Broil to Perfection:

   • Transfer the baking pan to the oven and broil the crepes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

9. Serve:

   • Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Asparagus Crepes au Gratin as a light meal or a sumptuous side dish.
