Asparagus and Parmesan PuddingsBrian Leatart

(Sformati di Asparagi e Parmigiano)

Sformato, which is a cross between a savory custard and a soufflé, can be made from a number of different vegetables. Asparagus is ideal and a Tuscan favorite — particularly in April and May when it is at its best. Serve these puddings as a first course or as a side dish; or accompany them with a salad for brunch or a light supper.
