Ingredients
- 2 lb thick asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tbsp hazelnuts, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp panko bread crumbs
- 1 lemon, zested
- 4 oz herbed goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1 tbsp buttermilk
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. On a large rimmed sheet pan, toss asparagus with 2 tbsp olive oil to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread asparagus in single layer. Roast, turning halfway through cooking, until tender and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Do not overcook. Asparagus should maintain a slightly crisp texture.
Meanwhile, combine hazelnuts, panko, lemon zest and additional 1 tbsp olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Toast until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Whisk together goat cheese and buttermilk until smooth and mousse-like. Spread the goat cheese out in a layer about ¼-inch deep on a serving platter. Layer over warm asparagus and top with hazelnut mixture. Serve immediately.

This recipe contains a lot of my favorite ingredients to work with, and isn't overly complicated, making it more accessible in your weekly menuplan.
I gave this presentation a 5 star rating. Meal looks beautiful and I know it will be delicious.
I made this dish last night and it was outstanding. Everyone cleaned their plate! I served this with wonderfully simple butter-fried Rainbow Trout and a simple green salad. I will definitely make this dish again. I am also going to try this dish with other vegetables. I think sauteed spinach with goat cheese spread and hazelnut topping could be another home run!
Fixed this dish for Easter Sunday dinner...was wonderful. Easy to make and would do it again. Thank you.
