- 1/4 cup grated Asagio cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Dash of pepper

Instructions
- Start by preparing your asparagus. Chop it into bite-sized pieces, about 2 inches in length.
- In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.
- Add the chopped asparagus and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté them together until the asparagus is cooked to your desired tenderness. This should take around 7 - 10 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and drain any excess oils.
- Transfer the sautéed asparagus and garlic to a serving dish. Arrange them in an appealing way that will make your guests eager to dig in!
- Now it's time to add some zesty flavor. Squeeze the juice of half a large lemon over the asparagus bites. The tanginess of the lemon will beautifully complement the other flavors.
- Sprinkle the grated Asagio cheese evenly over the dish. The cheese will melt slightly from the residual heat, adding a creamy and savory touch.
- Finally, season with a dash of pepper and salt to taste. These simple seasonings will enhance all the flavors and make your bites even more delicious.
- Serve your Lemon Garlic and Asagio Asparagus Bites immediately, while they are still warm. They can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a side dish. Your guests will be impressed by the vibrant colors and enticing aromas!
