Our cheesy baked asparagus is one of our most popular recipes (and for very good reason). It's so well-loved, that I knew we had to make a grilled version. This summer side uses one of my favorite summer hacks—foil packs—to make serving asparagus easier than ever. With plenty of melty cheese, garlic, fresh lemon juice, and a bit of red pepper flakes for heat, these foil packs don't sacrifice any flavor (even though they're so easy to make).
Feel free to sub in any melty cheese for the mozzarella—fontina or Gruyère would be delicious, too. If you're not a fan of red pepper flakes, you can leave them off.
