Asparagus with Brie Sauce is a French vegetarian starter that sets the style of any dinner. The softly boiled Asparagus served with the milk and melted brie sauce creates a stylish dish. It will be a talking point. Also, I have served this in larger quantity as a brunch which went down a treat. The brie is an excellent choice for its natural flavour and mild aroma and it melts into a lovely mess. This mess creates the Brie Sauce. A touch of nutmeg adds an additional hit for a typically divine dish. If you wanted to go for a stronger flavour, then camembert works well as well.
