How to Make Asparagus And Eggs A Special Breakfast Treat

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook until crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. While the prosciutto cooks, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and blanch for 2-3 minutes, until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain well.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook sunny-side up to your desired level of doneness, about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Divide the asparagus evenly between two plates. Place the asparagus on the bottom of each plate.
  5. Top the asparagus with 1/2 of the cooked prosciutto on each plate. Place the two fried eggs on top of the prosciutto. Then, top with the remaining prosciutto and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite bread and fruit for a complete and satisfying breakfast.
