How to Make Asparagus With Ham And Eggs

  1. Snap off the tough bottom ends of 1 pound of asparagus. If using white asparagus, peel them with a vegetable peeler before snapping the ends. Cook asparagus in boiling salted water until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes (depending on thickness). Drain well.
  2. While the asparagus cooks, finely chop 4 ounces of cooked ham and 2 large eggs.
  3. Arrange the cooked asparagus on two serving plates. Top with the chopped ham and eggs.
  4. Serve immediately with melted butter (about 2 tablespoons) in a small jug on the side and a serving of boiled new potatoes (about 1 pound).
