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!
