Boiled egg and asparagus spears

Print this recipe

• Cooking time: 4 mins.
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 16-20 asparagus spears
• 4 large British Lion eggs
• white truffle infused olive oil to drizzle (optional)
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to serve
• a shaving of Parmesan cheese

Method

Cook the asparagus in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3 minutes or until tender. At the same time, cook the eggs (Gizzi uses free range) in boiling salted water for 4 minutes (I always set the timer for 4 minutes and 15 seconds!) Put each egg in an egg cup on a plate. Drain the asparagus and divide between plates, drizzle with truffle oil, seasoning and Parmesan cheese. 

I always look for the Lion on eggs to guarantee the highest standards of food safety.  All Lion eggs come from British hens vaccinated against salmonella and are date-stamped for freshness.
