How to Make Asparagus With Melon
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and snap off the tough ends of 1 pound asparagus spears.
- Arrange asparagus spears in a greased 9x13 inch casserole dish, overlapping slightly, with the tips pointing in opposite directions.
- Add 2 cups cubed honeydew melon (about half a small honeydew melon).
- Crumble 4 ounces of blue cheese evenly over the asparagus and melon.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the wine mixture evenly over the asparagus and melon.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup roughly chopped hazelnuts over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp. For softer asparagus, bake for a longer time.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
