Step-by-Step Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it and setting it aside.
• For optimal results, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and garlic until they have become more tender, which should take about two to three minutes.

• Place the asparagus pieces that have been trimmed into the skillet and continue to cook for an additional five minutes, or until the asparagus reaches a flavorful and crisp consistency.
• Take the pan off the heat and set it aside to cool down a little bit.

• The cream cheese that has been softened, the sour cream, the mayonnaise, the shredded mozzarella cheese, the grated Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest, the dried thyme, the salt, and the pepper should be mixed together in a large mixing bowl.
• Repeat until all of the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together and creamy.

• Put the asparagus mixture that has been sautéed into the bowl that contains the dip mixture. Work the asparagus into the creamy mixture by gently folding it until it is distributed evenly throughout the mixture.

Tips for Success

• The dip mixture should be transferred to the baking dish that has been prepared, and then it should be spread out evenly using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
• The baking dish should be placed in an oven that has been preheated and will be baked for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is a light golden brown colour.

• As soon as the dip has finished baking, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. To garnish, if desired, use fresh parsley that has been chopped.
• The dish should be served warm with the accompaniments of your choice, which could include crackers, toasted bread, or vegetable sticks.

• The dip mixture could benefit from the addition of a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce, both of which would add a touch of heat.
• Experiment with a variety of cheese combinations to satisfy your individual preferences in terms of flavour. All three of these cheeses, Gruyère, cheddar, and fontina, would be wonderful ways to complement the flavours of asparagus.

• Before you cut the asparagus into pieces, you should make sure to trim the tough ends of the asparagus. This will result in a more even texture in the dip.
