Follow these detailed steps for making your own delicious asparagus appetizers.
  3. #### Ingredients:
  4. - 1 pound fresh asparagus
  5. - 3 oz (about 20 small pieces) goat cheese, crumbled
  6. - 1 clove garlic, minced
  7. - Salt and pepper to taste

  9. #### Equipment:

  11. - Cutting board

  14. ### Step-by-Step Guide:
  15. #### Step 1: Prepare the Asparagus
  16. 1. **Rinse and Trim:** Rinse the asparagus under cold water and trim off about 1/2 inch from the bottom.
  17. 2. **Blanching:** Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Drain immediately and plunge into ice water to stop cooking.
  18. #### Step 2: Prepare Goat Cheese Mixture
  19. 1. **Mix Ingredients:** In a small bowl, mix the crumbled goat cheese with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  20. 2. **Taste Test:** Adjust seasonings if necessary by adding more salt or pepper.
  21. #### Step 3: Assemble the Appetizers
  22. 1. **Thread Asparagus:** Use toothpicks to carefully thread the asparagus spears with the goat cheese mixture. Place a small dollop of the mixture on each asparagus spear.
  23. 2. **Garnish (Optional):** For added visual appeal, garnish with lemon zest or chopped chives.
  24. #### Step 4: Serve
  25. 1. **Presentation:** Arrange the appetizers on a serving platter and cover until ready to serve.
  26. 2. **Temperature:** Serve chilled for best texture and flavor. These can also be kept at room temperature up to an hour before serving if necessary.
  27. ### Tips for Success:
  28. - Use fresh, crisp asparagus spears for the best results.
  29. - Adjust the goat cheese amount according to your preference; more or less will change the taste profile of these appetizers.
