Roasted Asparagus with Herb Goat Cheese image

HERBED GOAT CHEESE AND ROASTED PEPPER TOASTS



Herbed Goat Cheese and Roasted Pepper Toasts image

A more-than-one-bite hors d'oeuvre, these savory toasts make a satisfying snack to serve with drinks or to take on a picnic. They taste best at room temperature or just barely warm. Roasting the peppers can done a day ahead, as can marinating the goat cheese, making this treat very easy to put together.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     finger foods, vegetables, appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 10 toasts

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large red or yellow bell pepper
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (8-ounce) log or 2 (4-ounce) logs soft goat cheese
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh thyme sprigs
Fresh rosemary sprigs
Red-pepper flakes
1 day-old baguette or ciabatta loaf
1 garlic clove, peeled

Steps:

  • Roast the pepper: Place the bell pepper directly over the open flame of a gas burner, under the broiler or on a hot, glowing charcoal grill. Let the skin of the pepper blacken and blister, using tongs to turn the pepper frequently. When completely blackened, after 5 to 8 minutes, transfer to a plate to cool.
  • Using a paring knife, cut pepper in half lengthwise. Cut away seeds and stem and discard. Scrape away the skin and discard. Do not rinse. It's OK if a few bits of charred skin remain.
  • Cut pepper halves into long strips about 1-inch wide. Season lightly with salt. (The pepper can be prepared up to 24 hours ahead of serving.)
  • Marinate the goat cheese: Slice the goat cheese log into 10 pieces (each about 3/4-inch thick). Place pieces in a single layer on a plate and pour 1/4 cup oil over.
  • Strip leaves from a few thyme sprigs and a rosemary sprig, roughly chop and sprinkle over the cheese. Finish with a bit of freshly ground black pepper, and a small pinch of red-pepper flakes. Cover and set aside. (This can also be done up to 24 hours ahead.)
  • Set oven to 350 degrees. Cut the baguette on a diagonal into 10 slices, each about 1/4-inch thick. (If using ciabatta, cut into similar-size pieces.) Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer, then place in oven for about 5 minutes, until bread is barely toasted.
  • Remove from oven and carefully give each toast a light swipe with the garlic clove. Lay a strip of roasted pepper across each toast to cover. Place a goat cheese round in the center of each toast. Spoon the remaining olive oil from the plate generously over each piece of cheese and any exposed toast.
  • To finish, return to the oven and bake, uncovered, until the bread is nicely browned and the cheese has gotten a bit of color, 8 to 10 minutes. Let toasts cool a bit, then arrange on a platter and serve. (They taste best at room temperature or just barely warm.) Toasts can be baked up to 1 hour ahead and popped in the oven to reheat slightly.

Asparagus-Potato Hash With Goat Cheese and Eggs image

This colorful one-pan breakfast can be easily adapted to use up whatever vegetables you have in the crisper: Use shallots or yellow onion instead of leeks, or substitute green beans, snap peas or even broccoli for the asparagus. Just make sure everything is diced into 1/2-inch pieces so the vegetables cook evenly and quickly. Serve as part of an elegant brunch spread, with toast for a hearty (and vegetarian!) weekend breakfast, or eat it straight from the skillet with a glass of white wine as a quick, clean-out-the-fridge dinner.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed
1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold or red new potatoes, scrubbed and diced into 1/2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 large fennel bulb, diced into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 cup), fennel fronds reserved
1 leek, trimmed, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1 cup chopped leeks)
1/2 pound asparagus (10 to 12 spears), trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus lemon zest and more juice for serving (optional)
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons crumbled plain goat cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, mint or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Add the potatoes, spreading them out into an even layer, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until potatoes are nicely browned, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium, add the fennel and leek, and cook, tossing occasionally, until leeks are translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. If the skillet looks dry at any point, add a splash of olive oil.
  • Add the asparagus, along with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few more grinds of black pepper. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the asparagus, fennel and potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Off the heat, add the lemon juice and toss, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Use a spoon to create 4 small hollows in the hash. Carefully crack an egg into each, season the eggs with salt and pepper and bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the egg whites are just set. (Don't overcook.)
  • Sprinkle with goat cheese, herbs, fennel fronds and lemon zest, if using. Sprinkle with additional lemon juice, if desired, and a pinch of salt, and serve hot. (A spatula works best for serving.)

Tips and Conclusions

Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use asparagus spears of similar thickness.
  • If you don't have a steamer basket, you can boil the asparagus in a large pot of salted water for 3-4 minutes, or until tender.
  • Feel free to use any type of cheese that you like in the herbed cheese spread. Some good options include goat cheese, cream cheese, or sharp cheddar cheese.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Serve the asparagus with herbed cheese spread immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Asparagus with Herbed Cheese on Toast is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the herbed cheese spread is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
