Baked Eggs and Asparagus image

Eggs baked on a bed of asparagus are perfect for a quick brunch dish when asparagus is in season. All you need is some fresh crusty bread and you're all set! Keep the tips out of the boiling water when you cook the asparagus to retain their bright green color and crunch.

Time 30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

½ pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the asparagus upright, making sure the water does not touch the asparagus tips. Cook until soft but still firm to the bite, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain and rinse under cold water.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking dish.
  • Place asparagus in one layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and dot with knobs of butter. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Gently crack the eggs in the middle of the dish, being careful not to break the egg yolks.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 8 to 10 minutes.

This was a great recipe! The eggs and asparagus were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was delicious. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. The hollandaise sauce was a bit too heavy and the eggs were a bit overcooked. I would recommend using less butter in the hollandaise sauce and cooking the eggs for a shorter amount of time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some diced tomatoes and red pepper flakes, which helped to give it a bit more flavor. Overall, it was a good starting point, but I would make some changes next time.
