Baked Asparagus And Goat Cheese - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs asparagus spears, trimmed (jumbo or extra-large)
2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
salt
2 ounces white goat cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
1/2 cup fresh white breadcrumbs

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F Coat asparagus with 1 tablespoons melted butter, then salt lightly.
Arrange in an oven-to-table shallow baking dish large enough to hold asparagus in a single layer.
Evenly distribute goat cheese over asparagus, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoons melted butter over breadcrumbs. Bake asparagus until tender-crisp and breadcrumbs lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
