GRILLED ASPARAGUS WITH A BASIL-GOAT CHEESE SAUCE
This spring or summertime dish adds a touch of sophistication and kapow to grilling asparagus. It is based off of a sauce by Mean Chef, #41126, used with BBQ shrimp. The key lies in the contrast between seasoned, grilled aspargus and the subtle herbed cream. A possible variation would be to substitute cream cheese for goat cheese, though I have not tried it.

ASPARAGUS-POTATO HASH WITH GOAT CHEESE AND EGGS
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.

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:
- For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
- Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the woody ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the ends.
- Cook the asparagus spears until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy.
- To make the goat cheese sauce, use a high-quality goat cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as herbs, spices, or nuts.
- Serve the asparagus with the goat cheese sauce immediately. The sauce will thicken as it cools.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with goat cheese sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish. It is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the goat cheese sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
