Ingredients

40 asparagus, average size 800 g
4 eggs size large
2 tbsp olive oil 30 mL
1/4 cup butter, unsalted 60 g
4 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated 12 g
1 pinch salt [optional] 0.2 g
ground pepper to taste [optional]

Before you start

Keep the serving plates warm on the stove while you're preparing the dish.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 230ºC/450ºF.
  2. Prepare the asparagus. Lay the asparagus on an oiled baking tray. Coat thoroughly with oil, then add salt.
  3. Cook until the asparagus change colour, about 8-10 min, depending on their size. Shake the tray a couple times during cooking, so that the asparagus will grill evenly. Arrange on the warmed plates and keep warm.
  4. While the asparagus are in the oven, heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet, taking care to keep the yolks intact. Cook them sunny-side up about 4-5 min until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny. Add salt and pepper before carefully sliding one egg on top of each asparagus serving.
  5. Grate the Parmesan cheese over each plate and serve.

Too much oil, the asparagus seemed oily. The egg on top of the asparagus is an interesting combination. Good mix of flavour, but could use more spices (? basil, oregano)

While a very simple recipe to make it still impresses. The asparagus was roasted well and the egg elevated this simple side dish to something a little more satisfying.
