How to Make Asparagus With Eggs And Parmesan Cheese
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Peel the lower half of thicker stalks with a vegetable peeler.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-8 minutes.
- Drain asparagus immediately and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and preserve vibrant green color. Drain again thoroughly.
- Pat asparagus dry with paper towels.
- Grease a small (approximately 8-inch) gratin dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Arrange the asparagus spears neatly in the prepared gratin dish.
- Drape the prosciutto slices over the asparagus, tucking the ends underneath.
- Crack the eggs over the asparagus. Sprinkle evenly with Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper.
- Dot the asparagus and eggs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, cut into small pieces.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy piping hot!
