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.

Full of Flavor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Roasting is the best way to prepare this vegetable. Deliscious! I've made it like this severaly times, varying it each time... by adding onions wedges, yellow and orange bell peppers, or whatever complimentary veg I have on hand that will cook in same amount of time. Trying different herbs is great fun as well. Everyone always loves it. I don't always use the egg.Read more

Quick, simple and lo-cal
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

At 8 minutes roasting time, this recipe is quicker than steaming and far tastier. But it's impossible to eat the egg bits... together with the whole spears. They just drop to the plate. Forget the egg. This asparagus can stand on its own with just a lemon wedge garnish. Imagine that. No butter, no hollandaise, no egg!Read more

Eh, it's OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The presentation on this is beautiful, but the flavor and actual eating of it leave a lot to be desired. Skip the egg and... hrow some hollandaise on it and you'll be a lot more satisfied.Read more
