  • Add hot stock gradually, stirring until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  • Stir in asparagus, butter, and grated cheese, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 170°C and line a tray with baking paper.
  • Place six flattened piles of cheese on the tray and bake for 8 minutes.
