ASPARAGUS, BACON AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLA

• 1. Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8 to10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and discard all the pan drippings.
• 2. Add 1 teaspoon butter and the shallots and cook until brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the asparagus to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the asparagus are bright green and tender; about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• 3. Spread a thin layer of cheese over a tortilla and scatter a quarter of the herbs on top. Place the tortilla cheese-side up in the skillet. Scatter a quarter of the bacon and asparagus on the lower half of the tortilla, then fold the tortilla over and press lightly. Cook until golden brown, turning once, about 3 minutes on each side.

BACON & BEEF WRAPPED ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Tenderize steaks with a meat tenderizer. Rub steaks with your favorite steak seasoning (I like to use a greek seasoning blend). Lay out flat on cookie sheet and drizzle heavily with balsamic vinegar. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
• Trim asparagus to 4-5 inches in length. Divide steaks into 3 oz pieces, large enough to hold approx 3 asparagus spears each. Divide goat cheese into 1/2 ounce servings.
• Place 3-4 trimmed asparagus spears and 1/2 oz of goat cheese in center of each steak. Roll steak to seal in asparagus and cheese. Wrap each beef roll with 1-2 slices of uncooked beef bacon. Place toothpick through seam to help hold bacon on while cooking. Place wrap, seam side down, on broiler pan. Bake in oven on 350F for 30 - 35 minutes.

ASPARAGUS-POTATO HASH WITH GOAT CHEESE AND EGGS

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.)

SHAVED ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE TARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Line large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
• Carefully unfold thawed sheet of puff pastry. If necessary, use rolling pin to flatten any edges and smooth out dough. Using knife or pizza cutter, cut puff pastry into 6 even rectangles. Prick pastry rectangles with fork. Place rectangles on cookie sheet a few inches apart. Brush with beaten egg.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until puffed and golden brown. Place cookie sheet on cooling rack to cool at least 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix cheese, cream and lemon peel; stir well. In medium bowl, mix shaved asparagus, peas, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and mint. Spread 1 tablespoon cheese mixture on center of each cooled pastry rectangle. Top with asparagus mixture; sprinkle with pepper.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH BALSAMIC VINEGAR

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND SCALLION QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Break off and discard woody ends of asparagus and place asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of the oil, add salt and pepper to taste and toss together with your hands until asparagus is thoroughly coated with oil. Place in oven and roast 12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned in spots, turning asparagus halfway through. Remove asparagus from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl.
• Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Transfer to bowl with asparagus. Add tarragon and parsley and toss together.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread scallion and asparagus mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle evenly on top. Very slowly pour in egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
