The asparagus flan is a delicious appetizer typical of Italian cuisine. It is a creamy and flavorful dish, perfect for starting a meal in an elegant way. Fresh asparagus are cooked and then combined with eggs, mozzarella fior di latte and milk to achieve a soft texture. The whole is flavored with extra-virgin olive oil and a light sprinkle of salt. The addition of wholemeal bread gives a crunchy note to the flan. The dish can be served hot or cold, depending on preference. It is ideal to accompany an aperitif or as an elegant starter for a special dinner.
