ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH HERB GOAT CHEESE
Roasting veggies always needs revamping every now and then, and I like to experiment by pairing them with different dressings or cheeses. I happened to love goat cheese and had extra on hand. I paired it with asparagus, and they lived happily ever after.

ASPARAGUS WITH CHEESE SAUCE AND HERB BREADCRUMBS
Spring's bright, fresh vegetables don't need heavy sauces to dress them up-they are best served with a light adornment so that their natural tastes can shine through. In this easy, 25-minute recipe for asparagus, a stress-free cheese sauce is made by simmering heavy cream until thickened, then stirring in Parmesan cheese. A word of advice: this cheese sauce for asparagus will set up if left to cool, so you want to keep it warm if you are not serving it right away. The asparagus should also be served almost immediately after broiling, or it will turn an ugly dark green if allowed to sit too long. Headed to the farmers' market for fresh produce, including asparagus? Get there early for the freshest picks. Don't buy stalks that look dried out, shriveled, or look less than fresh. And don't let fresh asparagus waste away in your fridge! It's best the first few days after it's purchased. Check out these recipes for inspiration. Snap off any hard ends and trim feathery tips before you start cooking. That way, the asparagus will be ready to eat as soon as it's cooked.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the goat cheese, ricotta and 2 eggs to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse until the mixture is evenly combined. Next, add the Parmesan, parsley, chives, dill, lemon zest, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pulse once again to combine all the ingredients.

- Unroll the puff pastry on a lightly floured work space and dust a rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll the puff pastry out to a 13-by-11-inch rectangle. Add the goat cheese-herb mixture to the puff pastry and spread it out into an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border all the way around the puff pastry. Nestle in the asparagus into the cheese mixture, alternating directions.
- To make the egg wash, whisk the remaining egg with a splash of water. Use a pastry brush to brush the exposed crust all the way around the edges.
- Transfer the tart to the oven and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese mixture is set, 25 to 30 minutes

CREAMED ASPARAGUS ON TOAST
My mom made this when I was a kid. My wife makes it for me often. It's easy and delicious. I am not a big fan of asparagus prepared any other way. I like to pour over one slice of toast, add another on top, and then pour more over it.

Tips:
- When choosing asparagus, look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
- To prepare the asparagus, trim off the woody ends. You can do this by snapping off the bottom inch or two of each spear, or by using a sharp knife to cut off the ends.
- To cook the asparagus, you can either steam it, boil it, or roast it. Steaming is the gentlest method, and it preserves the asparagus's nutrients and flavor. Boiling is a quick and easy method, but it can make the asparagus mushy if it's overcooked. Roasting is a great way to caramelize the asparagus and give it a smoky flavor.
- When making the herbed cheese spread, use fresh herbs for the best flavor. You can use any combination of herbs that you like, but some good choices include chives, basil, parsley, and thyme.
- To toast the bread, you can either use a toaster or a skillet. If you're using a skillet, heat a little bit of butter or olive oil over medium heat and toast the bread until it's golden brown and crispy.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with herbed cheese on toast is a delicious and easy appetizer or light meal. It's perfect for spring and summer, when asparagus is at its peak. With its vibrant green color and delicate flavor, asparagus is a beautiful and tasty addition to any table. When paired with creamy herbed cheese and crispy toasted bread, it becomes a truly irresistible dish.
