This dish is so good that you will need some bread to make sure you swipe clean the plate. It is so easy and quick to prepare. Here in England it is asparagus season and currently you can find purple tip asparagus at very cheap prices. Purple tip asparagus have a slightly better taste than the green ones but any one of them will do. Enjoy this as a quick snack, breakfast, or as a starter to a main meal. So to prepare this dish for 2 people you will need...
- A bunch of asparagus
- 2 eggs
- Generous knob of butter
- Grated parmesan cheese
Method
- Firstly, to remove the woody part of the asparagus, take one asparagus and bend it slowly until it snaps from the lower end. The small bit left is the woody part. Discard it. Now take a knife and cut the same part for the rest of the asparagus.
- Put the asparagus in a pan of boiling water and boil for about 5 minutes.
- While the asparagus are boiling, melt the butter in the pan and when all the butter is melted and bubbly, slowly crack the eggs. Be ever so careful not to break the egg yolk.
- Fry the eggs until egg white is set but yolk is still runny and bright yellow.
- Put the asparagus on a thick piece of kitchen paper, so as they absorb excess water.
- Put the asparagus on the plate, slide an egg on top and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese.
- Drizzle the remaining butter from the pan around the asparagus and enjoy!!!!
