How to Make Basque Eggs With Ham Asparagus And Peas

  1. Finely mince 2 cloves of garlic. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-safe skillet or casserole dish over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup (50g) diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  3. Wash 1 bunch asparagus (about 8 oz/225g), snap off the tough ends, and cut into 3cm pieces. Add to the skillet and sauté for another 5 minutes, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Add 1 cup (140g) frozen peas to the skillet. Pour in 1/4 cup (60ml) of water, cover, and simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until the peas are tender-crisp.
  5. Gently crack 4 large eggs directly into the skillet, spacing them evenly. Cover and cook over low heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking (runny, medium, or firm).
  6. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
