Ingredients

材料

1 1/2 lbs asparagus (about 700 grams)

蘆筍約700克

1 egg

雞蛋 1 隻

1/3 cup milk (100 ml)

牛奶 100毫升

1/2 teaspoon salt (2 grams)

鹽 1/2 茶匙（2克）

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (1 gram)

2 teaspoons butter (10 grams)

牛油 10克

2 teaspoons oil (10 ml)

油 10毫升

Instructions

做法

Sauté the asparagus in a skillet with the butter and oil until it's well browned.

用牛油和油在平底鑊中炒香蘆筍至微金黃。

Cut the cooked asparagus into pieces and arrange them in a small baking dish.

切好蘆筍，放入小焗盤。

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg together with the salt and pepper.

將雞蛋與鹽和黑胡椒粉打勻。

Pour the milk into the same skillet you used for the asparagus. Gently heat it, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to deglaze it.

將牛奶倒入平底鑊，輕輕加熱以收集所有焦香碎末。

Combine the egg mixture with the deglazed milk, then pour this liquid evenly over the asparagus in the baking dish.

將以上混合物淋在蘆筍上。

Bake the gratin at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can add an extra egg to the mixture before baking. For an enhanced flavor, consider sprinkling some shredded cheese over the top before it goes into the oven.

以180°C焗25分鐘。如想口感更實，可多加一隻雞蛋；如想更香，焗前在頂部灑上刨絲芝士。
