Cut down on time but not on presentation or taste with this entertainment-worthy starter dish made with steamed asparagus, fresh mozzarella cheese and lemon verbena.

Ingredients

1 pound thin asparagus spears
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut or torn into pieces
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
Fresh lemon verbena leaves or finely shredded lemon peel

Directions

Snap the asparagus in half discarding the woody ends.
Steam the asparagus in a steamer, or place in a streamer basket over boiling water for 2 minutes; transfer to a baking dish.
Top the asparagus with the mozzarella and then sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and pepper. Place the asparagus in the oven and broil about 4 inches from the heat for 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with the lemon verbena and serve immediately.
