Substitute ricotta or fresh sheep's milk cheese for the chevre. For a fresh note, use basil instead of the chives.

1. Whisk the goat cheese for one minute. Blend in half of the chives, finely chopped, and the diced smoked duck breast.
2. With a round cookie cutter or cylindrical mold, form a dome and decorate it with slices of smoked duck breast.
3. Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water; refresh in cold water.
4. With a mandolin, slice a few asparagus stalks lengthwise and cut the tips from the remaining asparagus.
5. Chop the remaining chives and combine them with the grapeseed oil.
6. Arrange the chevre dome with the smoked duck breast in the center of the plate. Add the asparagus slices, then the tips.
7. Decorate with a drizzle of the chive sauce, cress and edible flowers.
