Asparagus with Balsamic Glaze and Goat Cheese

Asparagus with Balsamic Glaze and Goat Cheese

For years I have tried to come up with a solution for recipe burnout. However, try as I might, I can not stick to a plan long enough to overcome it. I am exhausted with my old standbys and ready for changes. And nothing complicated. I still enjoy my time in the kitchen, but I want to get in and out of the kitchen fast Monday through Friday.

If you are looking for a deliciously easy recipe, give this Asparagus with Balsamic Glaze and Goat Cheese a try. This is the perfect side dish for any meat with just a handful of ingredients. With shortcuts like already prepared balsamic glaze and purchasing toasted almonds, this dish was ready in minutes.

Asparagus with Balsamic Glaze and Goat Cheese

Course Side Dish
Author Amye Melton

Ingredients

  • 2 bunches fresh asparagus (I prefer thicker asparagus) washed and trimmed
  • kosher salt
  • balsamic glaze
  • 3 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons toasted, chopped almonds

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Sprinkle generously with salt. Add the asparagus to the water and, depending on the size of the asparagus, blanch for 3 to 5 minutes. It should still have some bite left to it. 
  • Place cooked asparagus on plate. Crumble goat cheese over the top. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with almonds. Serve.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
