Best 13 Roasted Asparagus And Jammy Eggs And Ham Recipes

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WRAPPED IN SERRANO HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with canola oil spray.
• Lay a slice of ham on a work surface. Place a stalk of asparagus perpendicular to the ham, with the tip of the asparagus just higher than the top edge of the ham. Roll the asparagus on a diagonal, tightly wrapping the ham around the stalk as you go. (The ham should cover the entire stalk except for about an inch on the top and bottom ends.) Repeat with the remaining asparagus and ham.
• Place the asparagus, seam-side down, on the prepared baking sheet and lightly grease the tops with canola oil spray. Bake until the ham is crispy and the asparagus has softened and begun to char at the tips, about 15 minutes. Immediately pour the orange juice over the hot asparagus and season with salt. (The orange juice will almost completely evaporate on the hot baking sheet, but it will infuse the asparagus with orange flavor.)
• Transfer the asparagus to a serving plate and garnish with the orange zest. Serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS WITH HAM AND EGGS

Steps:

• Break off tough ends of the asparagus and cook until tender, drain.
• Meanwhile chop the ham and egg finely.
• Put asparagus on a serving plate and garnish with the chopped ham and eggs.
• Serve with the melted butter in a jug on the side.

JALAPEñO JANGJORIM WITH JAMMY EGGS

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, bring 6 cups water to a boil. Set up an ice bath in a medium bowl.
• Using a spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water, reduce the heat to medium-high and cook at a moderate boil for 8 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs into the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for 5 minutes, then peel and set aside.
• Gently nestle the beef brisket into the pot of hot water; add the onion, scallions, dasima and ginger. Bring to a boil again, then reduce the heat to medium and cook at a gentle boil until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Using a pair of tongs, transfer the meat onto a cutting board and let cool slightly. As the meat cools, strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl and discard the aromatics. Add 3 cups of broth back to the pot. (Any remaining broth can be reserved for soup or noodles.) Add the soy sauce, brown sugar and mirin to the pot and stir until combined. With your hands, shred the beef into thin strands, and add to the pot as well.
• Bring the pot to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until the soy sauce brine reduces slightly, about 10 minutes. Nestle in the peeled eggs along with the jalapeños and garlic. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely.
• Serve at room temperature. (If preparing in advance, transfer the mixture to a resealable container, such as a Mason jar, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. This dish tastes great cold, straight out of the fridge.)

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray the inside of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place asparagus in the dish and lightly spray spears with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

OVEN-ROASTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place the asparagus into a mixing bowl, and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to coat the spears, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper. Arrange the asparagus onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just tender, 12 to 15 minutes depending on thickness. Sprinkle with lemon juice just before serving.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH COUNTRY HAM, RED-EYE GRAVY, AND POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Asparagus
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Arrange the asparagus on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Roast until the color intensifies to a bright green and the asparagus spears are tender with crispy edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover loosely to keep warm.
• Ham and Gravy
• While the asparagus is in the oven, heat a dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham and cook until the meat is warmed through and begins to brown slightly, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and cover loosely to keep warm.
• Without cleaning the skillet, return it to the heat and add the coffee and butter. Stir to mix, scraping the bottom and sides to incorporate any bits of meat. Cook until the gravy reduces slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the dish is assembled.
• Eggs
• Fill another large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add the vinegar and salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Add the eggs one at a time and poach for 2 to 3 minutes, until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks (see Know-how, below). Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.
• Assembly
• Divide the asparagus evenly between individual serving plates or place on a large serving platter and top with the ham. Place 1 or 2 eggs on each slice of ham and spoon the gravy on top. Sprinkle with the tarragon and additional salt and pepper, if desired, and serve hot.
• Know-how: Making Poached Eggs
• Poached eggs are as healthy as hard-boiled eggs because they are cooked in water, and as versatile as fried eggs, with yolks as runny or firm as you please. They are easy to make, too. The touch of vinegar added to the water helps the eggs keep their shape while they cook.
• Fill a large skillet with water about 2 inches deep and bring to a boil. Add 2 teaspoons vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Break 1 egg into a small bowl or measuring cup, taking care not to break the yolk. Quickly turn the egg out of the bowl into the simmering water so the egg keeps its shape when it hits the water. Repeat with the remaining eggs, working in batches, if necessary, to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the whites set and a thin, translucent film forms over the yolks. For a firmer yolk, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Use a slotted spoon to gently transfer the eggs to a paper towel-lined platter to drain.

HAM AND ASPARAGUS FETTUCCINE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Stir asparagus into pot in the last five minutes of cooking; drain.
• While pasta is cooking, heat butter and cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When mixture begins to bubble, stir in Parmesan, garlic powder, pepper and cayenne. Continue cooking until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in ham and heat through.
• Toss pasta and asparagus with sauce and serve immediately.

TORTA RUSTICA WITH RICOTTA AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Make the dough: In a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture forms lima bean-size pieces. Alternatively, mix together flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl, then add butter, working the pieces into the flour with your hands, squeezing and pinching them until the mixture looks like oatmeal.
• Add egg, egg white and lemon zest, and pulse after each addition. If working by hand, whisk together egg, egg white and lemon zest in a separate bowl, then mix into the butter mixture. Slowly add iced wine, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse or mix by hand until the dough just comes together. You may not need all the liquid. The dough should be moist, but not wet.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and gather and press it into a ball. Divide into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other, and shape into disks. Wrap the disks tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 5 days.
• When ready to bake, heat oven to 375 degrees.
• Make the filling: If your ricotta seems watery, put it in a sieve and let it drain while you cook the spinach.
• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and a large pinch of salt, and continue to cook until spinach is very dry, about 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large bowl to cool. If any liquid accumulates as the spinach sits, pour it out of the bowl (you don't want it to water down the ricotta).
• In a food processor, purée drained ricotta and eggs until just combined and smooth. Add to the bowl with the spinach and fold in mozzarella, pecorino, ham (if using), parsley, black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, red-pepper flakes and nutmeg. Set aside when rolling out dough (or chill for up to 4 hours).
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the larger pastry dough disk to a 14-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Fit dough into a 9-inch springform pan, pressing the dough up the sides of the pan. Scrape filling into crust and spread evenly. Roll out second pastry disk to a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Cut 1/2-inch-wide strips and weave into a lattice on top of the filling. Seal, trim and crimp the edges. Brush the top of the torta with the egg wash.
• Place torta on sheet pan and bake until crust is crisp and brown, and filling is firm, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a rack for at least 45 minutes before serving.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH POACHED EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle asparagus with oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine, then spread in an even layer. Roast until asparagus is lightly browned and tender, 15 to 18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar and brown sugar over medium-high until syrupy and reduced to 3 tablespoons, stirring frequently, about 6 minutes.
• To serve, divide asparagus evenly among four plates; drizzle with balsamic mixture. Top each portion with a poached egg and shaved parmesan.

POACHED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan half way full of water. Bring to a boil and stir in the bouillon cube until dissolved. Crack one egg into a measuring cup or large spoon and gently slip it into the boiling water. Repeat with remaining eggs. Simmer for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm
• Meanwhile, Place the asparagus into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until asparagus is tender, about 4 minutes. Drain.
• Toast the bread to your desired darkness. Spread butter onto each piece of toast. Top with a slice of cheese, then a poached egg and finally, asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

CRUNCHY SPRING ICEBERG SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the salad: Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the frozen peas and asparagus, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the asparagus and peas are bright green and crisp tender. Drain and run under cold water until they are cold. Leave to drain.
• Prepare the lettuce: Run a sharp paring knife around the core and gently pull it out. Remove the outer layer of the lettuce and discard. Tear the lettuce into large chunks. Wash the leaves and allow them to dry in a colander. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
• Prepare the spicy cilantro yogurt: To a blender or small food processor, add the yogurt, cilantro, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and 1 jalapeño. Blitz until smooth. (Add a teaspoon of water at a time to get the mixture moving in the blender if necessary.) Taste and add the second jalapeño if you would like it spicier.
• Serve as one large salad or divide among four individual serving plates: Add the lettuce chunks to the plate, and scatter the asparagus and peas on top and around the lettuce. Spoon the spicy cilantro yogurt all over the vegetables, dot with feta and squeeze the juice from the lemon half over everything. Season with salt and black pepper, and top with a few cilantro leaves.

ROAST PEPPERS WITH 'JAMMY' EGGS & ALMOND & PARSLEY DRESSING

Steps:

• Make the dressing by bashing the almonds, parsley, garlic and some seasoning together using a pestle and mortar. You want to create a slightly chunky mixture. Stir in the vinegar and the olive oil, bashing gently as you go. Taste for seasoning, bearing in mind that the dressing can be quite strong as you are pouring it over eggs.
• Boil a pan of water, add the eggs and cook for 7-8 mins. This will give you what some people call 'jammy' eggs - they are only just firm enough to be considered hard-boiled, and the very centre is still a little soft. Put the eggs in cold water, then peel them as soon as they're warm enough to handle. Halve the eggs and arrange them on a serving plate. Season, then drape the peppers around the eggs and spoon the dressing over the top. Eat with some good crusty bread, while the eggs are still warm.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND JAMMY EGGS AND HAM

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 425. Whisk together olive oil, lemon zest and juice, honey and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 t pepper. Drizzle over asparagus and toss to coat.
• Bring water to boil. Add eggs with slotted spoon. Reduce to simmer 7 minutes. Remove eggs to cool in cold water bowl for perfect "jammy" eggs.
• Roast Asparagus and Ham for 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.
• Stir together yogurt, 2T dill, capers and brine. Serve on the side in a mound.
• Arrange egg halves on top of asparagus. Add red onions and dill weed for garnish.
