Ingredients for Asparagus And Eggs A Special Breakfast Treat
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
How to Make Asparagus And Eggs A Special Breakfast Treat
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide the asparagus evenly between two plates. Place the asparagus on the bottom of each plate.
- 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.
- Serve immediately with your favorite bread and fruit for a complete and satisfying breakfast.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
