Dippy eggs and soldiers, with asparagus

 Dippy eggs and soldiers
  • Serves: 1
  • Prep: 5 mins
  • Cook: 10 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 British Lion egg
  • 4 spears of fresh green asparagus
  • 2 slices of prosciutto ham
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil

Method

  1. Cut the slices of prosciutto in half width-ways. Roll up the spears of asparagus in the prosciutto making sure they are tightly wrapped. Allow the spear end of the asparagus to remain unwrapped and visible.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan and add the oil. Place the asparagus soldiers in the pan and cook over a medium heat. They need about 3-4 minutes – roll them over every now and then.
  3. To cook the eggs, place them in a small pan, cover with cold water, add a pinch of salt and place the pan on a high heat. When the water is almost boiling, gently stir the egg and boil for 3-4 minutes. Remove and serve as boiled eggs in an egg cup with the soldiers alongside.
