Ingredients

preparation
➊ Clean the spinach and chop roughly. Peel the white asparagus and cut off the ends. Then simmer in salted water with a pinch of sugar and lemon zest for about 12 minutes and then drain. Peel the bottom third of the green asparagus and cut off the ends; this does not need to be pre-cooked.
➋ Heat the grill to around 180°C and use a grill plate or an iron pan. Put a little clarified butter on the hot grill plate and briefly grill the white and green asparagus all over. First put the spinach in an ovenproof dish, season with pepper and salt, then place the white and green asparagus spears alternately on top and season with pepper.
➌ Spread butter in flakes on top and sprinkle everything with the mountain cheese. Close the grill lid and grill for about 15 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
