Sauteed Asparagus with Eggs & Parmesan
Ingredients
- 2 rounds asparagus stalks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 6 very fresh hen's eggs
- Small block parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steps
- Step 1
First, shave the block of parmesan with a potato peeler until you have 1 tbsp of tiny slivers
- Step 2
In a frying pan, heat 1 TBS oil over a high heat, add the asparagus stalks, then immediately turn the heat down to medium
- Step 3
Move the stalks about in the pan and turn them so that they are a little toasted at the edges (they should take 3-4 minutes to cook, depending on their thickness). When they are done, turn off the heat, add the balsamic vinegar and let them keep warm in the pan while you cook the eggs
- Step 4
In a second frying pan, heat the remaining oil until it is hot. Quickly break each egg into the pan, then tilt the pan to baste the eggs with hot oil – after about 1 minute, they will be done
- Step 5
Arrange the asparagus on warmed serving plates with the pan juices sprinkled over
- Step 6
Top each portion with 3 eggs, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle on the parmesan and serve immediately
