A pretty aperitif that can be prepared the night before.

Ingredients

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
6 slices bread
1 6 oz package shredded Swiss cheese
4 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Directions

Plunge asparagus in boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, depending on the thickness of the spears. Drain and rinse immediately with cold water.
Grease a 13 x 9 casserole dish. Layer six slices of bread in the bottom of the dish. Top with Swiss cheese.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and seasonings. Pour into casserole dish. Neatly arrange asparagus spears on top of casserole. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 10 hours.
Bake at 350° for 40 to 45 minutes until slightly puffed and golden brown around the edges. If the top starts to get brown too quickly, cover with foil for the remaining cooking time. Let sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
