For a fresher flavor, substitute the canned asparagus with fresh asparagus. Steam or blanch the fresh asparagus until tender-crisp before adding it to the casserole. A dash of nutmeg adds a warm, subtle spice that complements the flavors beautifully. Experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a smoked Gouda would be delicious. Add a layer of buttered bread crumbs on top for a crispy texture.
