Steps:
- As seen on: Giada in Italy, Episode 5. Giada's Daily Special.
- For the gremolata, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and breadcrumbs and toast, stirring often with a wooden spoon until golden brown. Place in a small bowl and while still hot, add the lemon zest, chili flakes and salt. Mix together and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Stir in the parsley and cheese.
- Wipe out the pan with a dish towel. To that pan, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat over medium high heat. Add the asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, stirring and flipping often with tongs until they are bright green, cooked through and slightly browned. Divide among your serving plates.
- Crack 2 eggs into the pan, being careful as it may splatter, season it with salt and reduce the heat slightly and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges are light brown and crispy and the whites are just set. The yolk should still be runny. Using a slotted spatula slide the 1 egg on top of 2 of the plates. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Sprinkle each dish with the breadcrumb gremolata and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

PAN-COOKED ASPARAGUS AND MIXED FISH
No matter what your budget, you can make this dish with all different types of fish. It's nice to try to get a mixture of oily and white fish fillets, alongside things like shellfish, shrimp and squid. You want everything to cook at the same time, so just make sure that whatever you use is all sliced up into pieces roughly the same size. You can cook it all together in a pan like I'm doing here or on the barbecue or, for a healthier way, you can steam it all - whichever, finish the dish off with extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice and chile as these flavors all work so well with asparagus and fish.

Steps:
- Get a really large frying pan, or 2 smaller ones, on the heat and add a glug of olive oil. Score the skin of your fish fillets all over, about 1/2-inch deep, and season. Put the fish fillets into the pan, skin side down, with the squid tentacles. Add the scallops. Run your knife down 1 side of each squid to open them out, then quickly and lightly score the inside in a crisscross fashion. Lay them in the pan, scored side down. Add the asparagus and gently shake the pan. Cook for a few minutes, then turn everything over and cook on the other side. Sprinkle over the thyme tips.
- You're the one in control of the pan, so if something looks cooked, take it out and keep it warm. Don't watch things burn! When the fish has crispy skin, the scallops are golden brown with caramelized edges and the squid has curled up and is nicely charred, remove the pan from the heat. Put the squid on a chopping board and roughly slice it into pieces at an angle, then return to the pan. Lay the fish fillets on each plate. Toss the asparagus, scallops and squid with half the chile, a good drizzle of good quality extra-virgin olive oil and the lemon juice. Lightly season and mix together. Divide on top of the plated fish. Sprinkle with the rest of the chopped chile and the fennel tops, and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND EGGS

Steps:

Simmer until whites are set and yolks are soft but slightly set, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spatula, scoop out eggs one at a time and drain on paper towels. With a paring knife, trim edges.
- Divide asparagus among four plates and drizzle with reduced balsamic. Top with shaved Parmesan and an egg.

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS WITH CRISPY GARLIC
Before asparagus got moved to its own botanical family, Asparagaceae, in the early 2000s, it was part of the lily family along with onions, chives, shallots and garlic. It makes sense then, that asparagus and garlic make such a good duo. When cooked with care, both can be mild and sweet (or pungent and bitter when cooked carelessly). To highlight the best of both ingredients, gently fry garlic into chips for a crispy topping, then use the lightly infused oil to sauté the asparagus. Both thin and chubby spears work, as would nearly any other vegetable you like with garlic: broccoli, kale, snap peas, fennel and more.

Steps:
- Place a paper towel-lined plate next to the stove. In a medium or large skillet, combine the garlic and olive oil over medium-low heat. Cook, shaking the skillet often, until the garlic is very light golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat, tilt it, then use a slotted spoon to transfer the garlic to the towel-lined plate, leaving the remaining oil in the skillet. Season the crispy garlic with salt.
- Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, shaking often, until bright green, crisp-tender and browned in spots, 4 to 5 minutes. Slide onto a platter, including any oil in the skillet. Top with the garlic chips and season again with salt and pepper.
PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH FRISéE AND FRIED EGG
Here is a fine variation on the old combination of egg and asparagus. It is a twist on the bistro staple, frisée aux lardons, with pan-fried asparagus standing in for the bacon lardons. It's mixed with the frisée and a pungent garlic vinaigrette laced with a little anchovy. Then, in place of the usual poached egg nestled in curling frisée leaves, fry an egg until the edges are crisp and brown. This adds a vaguely baconlike nuance to the salad, without the meat.

Steps:
- Mash the garlic and a pinch of salt into a paste with the side of a knife. Mix it in a small bowl with the anchovy, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons oil.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat for 20 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add the asparagus. Toss occasionally until golden brown and almost tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large bowl; add the frisée and the garlic-anchovy dressing and toss gently.
- Return skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Crack in the eggs; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes.
- Divide the salad between two serving plates. Top each with an egg.

Pan-Fried Asparagus with a Crispy-Fried Egg
This simple but delectable recipe is a fantastic addition to any meal. The asparagus is sautéed until crisp-tender, then topped with a crispy-fired egg and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. The combination of the crisp asparagus, the richness of the egg, and the salty, nutty Parmesan is irresistible.
Here are some tips for making the perfect Pan-Fried Asparagus with a Crispy-Fried Egg:
- Use fresh asparagus.
Fresh asparagus has the best flavour and texture. If you can't find fresh asparagus, you can use thawed, but it will be slightly less flavorful.
- Cook the asparagus until it is crisp-tender.
This means that the asparagus should be slightly browned on the outside, but still a little bit firm when you pierce it with a fork.
- Fry the eggs in a hot skillet.
This will help the eggs to cook quickly and evenly. Make sure to use enough oil so that the bottom of the skillet is well-coated.
- Serve the asparagus immediately.
This will prevent the eggs from becoming tough and the asparagus from getting soggy.
Conclusion
Pan-Fried Asparagus with a Crispy-Fried Egg is a quick and easy recipe that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The asparagus is sautéed until crisp-tender, then topped with a crispy-fired egg and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. The combination of the crisp asparagus, the richness of the egg, and the salty, nutty Parmesan is irresistible. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
