Steps:
- Place eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit 6 minutes. Yolks will be set but not fully hard cooked. Remove from the pot and set aside. Roll up the prosciutto and cut it in chunks. Place in a food processor with the bread crumbs and pulse until fairly fine.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, add prosciutto mixture and sauté on medium, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Bring a pot of water large enough to hold the asparagus to a boil, add asparagus, reduce heat to medium and cook until asparagus are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm. Peel eggs and chop them. Mix them in a bowl with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Arrange asparagus on a serving platter. Scatter prosciutto crumbs over them and spoon on the eggs.

Steps:
- For the gremolata: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and olive oil and toast, stirring often with a wooden spoon until golden brown. Place in a small bowl and while still hot, add the lemon zest, red pepper flakes and salt. Mix together and cool the mixture to room temperature. Stir in the parsley and cheese.
- For the asparagus: Wipe the pan with a clean dish towel. Place over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring and flipping often with tongs until the asparagus is bright green, cooked through and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Divide the asparagus among four serving plates. To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Crack 2 of the eggs into the pan, being careful as it may splatter, sprinkle with salt and reduce the heat slightly and cook until the edges are light brown and crispy and the whites are just set, 2 to 3 minutes. The yolk should still be runny. Repeat for the remaining 2 eggs. Using a slotted spatula, slide an egg on each plate. Sprinkle each dish with the breadcrumb gremolata and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- If the asparagus are thick, peel them halfway up the stalks. Cut off and discard the bottom third of the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 10 minutes, until the stalks are just tender. Meanwhile, place the prosciutto in a single layer on another sheet pan and roast in the same oven for 5 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat and wait until the bubbles almost subside. Crack the eggs into the skillet, keeping them separate, if possible. Sprinkle the eggs generously with salt and pepper and cook over medium heat until the whites are cooked but the yolks are still runny. Don't turn them over!
- Arrange the asparagus on 3 plates. Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each pile, drizzle with hollandaise, and place a fried egg on top of the prosciutto. Serve hot.
- Place the egg yolks, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in the jar of a blender and process on low for 15 seconds. Melt the butter in a small saucepan until it is sizzling hot. Remove the small clear insert in the top of the blender. With the blender on low, slowly add the hot butter to the egg and lemon mixture and blend for 30 seconds, until the sauce is very thick. Use immediately.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH, ASPARAGUS, AND PROSCIUTTO
From Food and Wine Magazine: Bake the eggs, in their nests of crusty bread, until the whites are just set. When you cut into the egg, the still-liquid yolk acts as a sauce. If spicy food is your fancy, try serving a favorite salsa on the side. I haven't had a chance to try this yet. I just wanted to post it so that I could remind myself to make it.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 450°. Put the bread on a baking sheet and toast in the oven, turning once, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes in all. Transfer to an oiled baking dish.
- Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain thoroughly.
- Using your fingers, make a depression in the center of each slice of bread. Arrange one or two slices of prosciutto around the edge of each slice of bread. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cheese. Press a quarter of the remaining cheese into the center of each slice of bread. Top the cheese with the spinach, and then surround that with the asparagus. Break an egg into a small dish. Carefully slip the egg into one of the spinach nests. Repeat with remaining eggs. Sprinkle the eggs with the salt and pepper and the reserved cheese. Bake, covered, until the egg whites are just set, 10 to 15 minutes.

Steps:
- To roast the asparagus: Place the asparagus in a large bowl, drizzle the olive oil over it and sprinkle with the salt, tossing to coat.
- Scatter 16 of the thyme sprigs onto a baking sheet and lay the asparagus over them to cover.
- Roast in a preheated 450-degree oven for about 10 minutes, until tender to the touch but firm in the center.
- To grill the bread: Butter each side of each slice.
- In a pan over medium heat, lightly brown each side; remove to a plate and let cool just long enough to handle.
- Rub one side of each slice with the garlic clove, then place on a baking sheet, garlic side up.
- Arrange the asparagus evenly over the bread.
- To poach the eggs: Use Paula G's easy poaching method Recipe #118761, or in a medium saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil.
- Turn the heat down to just below a simmer and add the vinegar and salt.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl to check that the yolk isn't broken.
- Slowly stir the water in one direction to create a whirlpool effect.
- Once the whirlpool has slowed a little, carefully slide the egg into the water against the side of the pan, following the current of the water as you pour, so the white envelops the yolk.
- Repeat the process with each egg, poaching them for 2 to 2-1/2 minutes until the whites are set and the yolks are runny.
- Carefully remove them with a slotted spoon to a plate; cup the eggs with your hand and tip the plate to drain off the water.
- To assemble: Center an egg on top of the asparagus on each toast; drape a slice of the cheese over each egg.
- Heat the sandwiches under the broiler just until the cheese melts.
- Remove the sandwiches from the oven, rumple a slice of prosciutto over each, drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with fresh pepper.
- Garnish with the remaining thyme; serve immediately.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a flat, nonstick skillet and make sure the butter is melted and sizzling before adding the eggs.
- For the best flavor, use fresh asparagus and high-quality prosciutto.
- If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as ham or bacon.
- To make the dish more substantial, add a side of roasted potatoes or a green salad.
- For a vegetarian version of the dish, omit the prosciutto and add more asparagus or other vegetables.
