Time 15m

Yield Two sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pound asparagus (preferably pencil-thin)
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 large eggs
1/2 16-inch loaf Italian bread

Steps:

  • Wash the asparagus under cold running water. Snap off and discard the tough bottom portion. If using thicker asparagus, scrape each stalk to remove the skin, then cut it into thirds lengthwise, leaving the the asparagus head intact.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, heat the oil until just warm. Add the asparagus and salt. Saute over medium heat, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes, shaking the pan or stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl and beat, adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Cut the bread in half lengthwise. Remove the soft, doughy part and toast the loaf slightly.
  • Uncover the asparagus, raise the heat slightly and add the eggs, stirring. Cook for 1 minute, or until the eggs are set. Scoop onto the bread and cut in half.

Categories     Bread     Sandwich     Egg     Onion     Breakfast     Picnic     Lunch     Asparagus     Spring     Simmer

Yield makes 2 hero sandwiches, or 4 sandwiches on rolls

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch asparagus, stems peeled and cut into 2-inch lengths
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large eggs
4 ounces mild provola, shredded
Two 6-inch lengths semolina bread, or 4 crusty rolls, lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and add the onion, asparagus, and 1/4 cup water. Season with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, cover, and let simmer until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes, until the water has evaporated.
  • Beat eggs with the remaining salt. Pour the eggs into the skillet, and cook, stirring, until just beginning to set but still wet, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with the grated provola, then cover and cook until cheese melts, about 1 minute more. Uncover, stir to mix in the cheese, and serve on the toasted bread or rolls.

Tips:

  • To save time, you can roast the asparagus in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it gently before assembling the sandwiches.
  • If you don't have a toaster oven, you can cook the eggs in a regular oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes, or until the yolks are set.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as cheese, avocado, or bacon. You can also use different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately for the best flavor.

Conclusion:

Asparagus and egg sandwiches are a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh asparagus. They're perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a satisfying and flavorful sandwich that will leave you feeling full and satisfied.
