How to make asparagus with eggs

  • Cut off any woody ends from the asparagus.
  • Peel the lower half of the spears by inserting a knife under the thick skin at the base and pulling up towards the tip.
  • Wash the asparagus in cold water.
  • Bring a large pan of water to the boil.
  • Boil the asparagus until just tender.
  • While the asparagus is cooking, melt a third of the butter in a frying pan.
  • When bubbling, break in the eggs and cook them until the whites have set but the yolks are still soft.
  • As soon as the asparagus is cooked, remove it from the water with two slotted spoons.
  • Place it on a wire rack covered with a clean dish towel to drain.
  • Divide the spears between warm individual serving plates.
  • Place a fried egg on each and sprinkle with the grated Parmesan.
  • Melt the remaining butter in the frying pan.
  • As soon as it is bubbling, but before it browns, pour it over the cheese and eggs on the asparagus.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.
