Run out of ideas what to make for dinner? Don’t have a lot of time spent in the kitchen as you don’t want to miss your favourite program on the TV. Worse still, you have only a few eggs left in the fridge, some asparagus which are in season now, a tiny block of Parmigiano and a half eaten baguette…. because you were too busy to do your weekly shopping!

Look no further – takes you no more than 15 minutes to prepare this easy yet yummy dish – Asparagus Egg Benedict.

Method:

1. Get the baguette sliced thinly, put some olive oil, set aside to be toasted.
2. In a sauce pan, filled with boiling salty water and blanch the cleaned and trimmed asparagus for about 4-5 minutes.
3. While blanching the asparagus, in another sauce pan, half filled it with boiling water, add in 2 generous tablespoons of white win vinegar. Make sure the water is boiling, break an egg or two (one by one) to poach for 2-3 minutes.
4. Get the baguette toasted while waiting for the eggs and asparagus to be cooked.
5. Scoop out the egg and place it on a kitchen tower to soak up the water.
6. Arrange the asparagus on the dinner plate, then put the egg on top of the asparagus.
7. Shave some parmigiano and sprinkle on top of them, then season with a bit of salt, pepper and some herbs de provences.
8. Served with toasted baguette.
