I wasn't sure what to expect when making this dish, but was pleasantly surprised by how nicely these simple flavors came together. I sprinkled with a little truffle salt rather than lemon. For some recipes, you can get away with substituting pre-grated parmesan for the parmiggiano-reggiano in a pinch, but I wouldn't recommend making this substitution for this recipe...it would have changed the flavors quite a bit. Because this dish is too light for dinner for my husband, I served a little thinly sliced flank steak and a slice of toasted ciabatta on the side, as well as a little salad of mixed greens, which seemed to work pretty well.

I had this "exact" recipe as a main dish at an excellent trattoria recently in Vicenza, Italy. It's only made during the spring season. So, I immediately went home and copied it. It's easy and flavorful. It's traditional to serve fresh asparagus with chopped hard boiled eggs in this part of Italy, but I like this even better. Mario has the same recipe - fantastico. If you like eggs sunny side up or over easy AND asparagus, this will make your mouth water. My husband wants more before asparagus season ends. Use fresh asparagus and the best parmigiano-reggiano you can find - grate it yourself. It's worth it. The reviews are right - this is quick and delicious. We'll have this a few more times this year and then it's wait until next spring.

I probably have cooked asparagus a hundred ways. This recipe tops my list. The combination of flavors makes fresh asparagus shine.

The egg yoke with the lemon and cheese combine to make it taste like hollandaise sauce, but without the uneccessary added calories. Really really good.

The delicately nutty flavors of asparagus and parmiggiano-reggiano cheese blend in wonderfully in this dish

This dish is a winner; easy to prepare with excellent flavor combination of lemon, cheese and egg balanced by the asparagus. I can't wait until my asparagus patch produces this spring and the results will be even more sublime.
