asparagus with fried eggs and cheese
|
1# fresh asparagus
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 large eggs
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4-1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
In a wide pot, bring several inches of water to a boil. While the water heats, snap off the fibrous ends of the
asparagus spears. Cook the asparagus in the boiling water for 5-8 minutes, until just tender.
While the asparagus cooks, heat the butter and olive oil in a heavy skillet. Crack the eggs into the skillet.
Cover and cook until the whites are firm and crisp around the edges and the yolks are partially cooked, but
not hard-set. Arrage the hot asparagus on warmed serving plates, top with the fried eggs, and sprinkle with
salt, pepper, and grated cheese. Serve immediately.
