Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for 4–5 minutes. Then drain in a colander and let the water drip off.
Step 2
Slice the leek lengthwise and wash it thoroughly to remove any sand. Cut it into thick rings; young leeks can be left whole.
Step 3
Sauté the asparagus with the leek on a well-heated grill or grill pan for 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cut larger asparagus spears lengthwise into 2–3 pieces.
Step 4
Slice the Mozzarella into rounds about 4–5 mm thick.
Step 5
Layer all the prepared ingredients in a baking dish greased with olive oil in any order. Sprinkle with finely chopped garlic, thyme leaves, breadcrumbs, and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 390°F for 17–20 minutes until golden brown.
