Roasted Asparagus with Egg Garnish
From Food Network Kitchens

Ingredients
1 large egg
1 pound medium asparagus (about 1 large bunch)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Put the egg in a small saucepan with enough cold water to cover. Bring to a boil.
Cover the pot, and remove from the heat; set aside for 10 minutes. Drain; roll

the egg between your palm and the counter to crack the shell, and then peel under
cool running water.

Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Spread the spears in a single layer on a
baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, and roll to coat
thoroughly. Roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes,
giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. Arrange
the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. Rub the egg through a medium-mesh
strainer and sprinkle it over the asparagus.

Grind a generous amount of black pepper over the top. Serve warm or room
temperature.
