FAQ (Questions and Answers) Baked Asparagus and Speck
Can they be prepared in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the dish in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator, cooking it just before serving. Perfect for better organization.

Thinly sliced speck is best: it roasts well in the oven and becomes crispy, enhancing the asparagus texture without overpowering the flavor.
Can I use another cheese instead of Parmesan?
Of course! Grana Padano, pecorino, or even a sprinkle of grated smoked cheese can be great alternatives to vary the taste.
Are the baked asparagus gratin with speck also suitable as a main course?
Absolutely yes. They are perfect as a light main dish, perhaps accompanied by a slice of rustic bread or a fresh seasonal salad.
How to store leftover asparagus and speck?
Once cooked, you can store them in the fridge for 1-2 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven or pan to maintain crispiness.
