- 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
- 1 (8 oz/277 g) Package cremini mushrooms, sliced Salt and pepper
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) Grated Gruyere cheese
DIRECTIONS
- HEAT olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add asparagus and sauté 4-5 minutes. Add shallots and mushrooms and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the asparagus is fork tender and mushrooms and shallots are nicely browned. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
