Asparagus Casserole with Shrimp

Make asparagus spears according to the basic recipe, then cool them in iced water and rub them dry. Peel the potatoes and cook in salted water until al dente, steam and cut into slices.

Pluck chervil and chop coarsely, chop chives. Defrost shrimps and rub dry.

Mix eggs, egg yolks and whipping cream well, season with salt and pepper, grate a little nutmeg.

Grease oval gratin dish with butter. Layer potato slices and season lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with chervil, place shrimp on top, also season with salt, pepper and a tiny bit of juice from a lemon, sprinkle with remaining chervil. Spread the asparagus evenly on top. Pour the whipped cream and egg mixture over the top.

Place the gratin dish in the heated oven (approx. 180 degrees) on a wire rack at medium height and cook for about 30 minutes. Needle test: if the needle can be pulled out blank another time, then the casserole is ready.

Sprinkle the casserole with a small amount of chives just before serving.

Recommended wine: white or gray Burgundy (QbA, dry) or a hearty rose (Weissherbst).

Our tip: Fresh chives are much more aromatic than dried ones!
