ASPARAGUS WITH PROSCIUTTO AND EGG



Asparagus With Prosciutto and Egg image

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 large eggs
1 1/2 ounces prosciutto, preferably San Daniele, in about two thin slices
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds medium-thick asparagus, ends snapped off, peeled
Salt and ground black pepper

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.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon lemon zest (1 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 large 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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND PROSCIUTTO



Roasted Asparagus and Prosciutto image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 35m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound fresh asparagus (not too thin)
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large slices prosciutto
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 extra-large eggs
Easy Hollandaise Sauce, recipe follows
2 extra-large egg yolks, at room temperature
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter

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



Skillet-Baked Eggs and Asparagus image

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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     dinner, easy, weekday, appetizer, main course, side dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons olive oil, more for drizzling
3/4 pounds asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 scallions, white and light green parts, thinly sliced
8 large eggs
6 tablespoons roughly chopped soft herbs like basil, cilantro, chives or parsley use at least 2
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Salt
black pepper, to taste
Lemon wedges, for serving
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the asparagus and the scallions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is browned and tender.
  • Whisk together the eggs, 4 tablespoons of the herbs, and cream. Whisk in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over asparagus and place the skillet in the oven.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes, until set, but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. It is best warm, not hot.
  • Squeeze one or two lemon wedges over it, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and remaining herbs. Cut into wedges.

BAKED EGGS WITH SPINACH, ASPARAGUS, AND PROSCIUTTO



Baked Eggs With Spinach, Asparagus, and Prosciutto image

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.

Provided by Cultural Twist

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small round loaf crusty bread, 2 ends removed, the rest cut into 4 thick slices (about 10 ounces)
3/4 lb asparagus, tough ends snapped off and discarded, spears cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 lb thin-sliced prosciutto
1/4 lb gruyere, grated
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, defrosted, drained, and squeezed dry
4 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

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.

Provided by Brenda.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 33m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 -20 large asparagus, stalks tough ends broken off
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
20 sprigs fresh thyme
4 slices sourdough bread
2 -4 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 pinch kosher salt
4 extra-large eggs
3 ounces fontina or 3 ounces gruyere cheese, cut into four 1/8 inch thick slices
2 ounces good-quality prosciutto
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling over the sandwiches
freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

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:

  • 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.

  • For a vegetarian version of the dish, omit the prosciutto and add more asparagus or other vegetables.
