Best Asparagus And Egg Salad Recipes

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH FRISéE AND FRIED EGG

Steps:

• Mash the garlic and a pinch of salt into a paste with the side of a knife. Mix it in a small bowl with the anchovy, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons oil.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat for 20 seconds. Add 3 tablespoons oil. When it shimmers, add the asparagus. Toss occasionally until golden brown and almost tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer to a large bowl; add the frisée and the garlic-anchovy dressing and toss gently.
• Return skillet to medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Crack in the eggs; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until the eggs are just set, about 3 minutes.
• Divide the salad between two serving plates. Top each with an egg.

ASPARAGUS, HAM, AND POACHED EGG SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare a large bowl of ice water.
• Fill the pasta pot with 3 quarts of water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the coarse salt and the asparagus. Blanch, uncovered, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. (Cooking time will vary according to the size and tenderness of the asparagus.) Immediately remove the colander from the water, letting the water drain from the asparagus. Plunge the asparagus into the ice water so they cool down as quickly as possible and retain their crispness and bright green color. (The asparagus will cool in 1 to 2 minutes. After that, they will soften and begin to lose crispness and flavor.) Drain the asparagus and wrap it in a thick kitchen towel to dry. (Do not cook the asparagus in advance or it will lose its crispness.)
• Break each egg into a ramekin or small cup. Set aside. In a large, shallow saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Add the vinegar. One by one, bring the edge of a ramekin or cup level with the surface of the water and slide the egg in gently. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Poach the eggs until the whites are firm but the yolks are still runny and are covered with a thin, translucent layer of white, about 3 minutes.
• With the sieve or slotted spoon, carefully lift the eggs from the water and transfer them to several thicknesses of paper towels.
• Place the salad greens and chives in a large salad bowl. Toss with just enough dressing to coat the greens lightly and evenly.
• Place the asparagus on a large plate and add just enough dressing to lightly coat the spears. Roll the asparagus in the dressing.
• Arrange the dressed greens at one side of each of 4 large dinner plates. (Rectangular plates are particularly beautiful here.) Carefully place a poached egg alongside. Arrange 4 asparagus spears next to the eggs. Carefully drape a slice of ham over each of the poached eggs. Season the greens lightly with fine sea salt and generously with pepper. Sprinkle with chives. Serve with the toast.

ASPARAGUS, GREEN PEA, AND EGG SALAD CROSTINI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool baking sheet on rack. Set aside.
• Spread asparagus pieces on parchment-lined small baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
• While asparagus is baking, blanch peas. Fill a small saucepan half full with water. Bring to a boil. Add peas and let cook 1 minute until peas are bright green. Immediately drain peas in a strainer and run cold water over them. Shake off excess water and set aside.
• To make egg salad: cut hard-boiled eggs in half. Separate egg whites and yolks. Chop egg whites into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside. Put the egg yolks in a small-medium bowl. Add mayonnaise to the egg yolks and mix with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper and mix. Add chopped egg whites, peas, and cooled asparagus. Stir.
• Wash and gently pat dry basil leaves with a cloth or paper towel. To assemble, put 2 medium basil leaves on each baguette toast. Using two small spoons, place 1 to 2 tablespoons egg salad in the middle of the toast on top of the basil so the basil shows at either end. Garnish with smaller basil leaves.
• These crostini are best made just before serving, but can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept refrigerated before serving.
• Tips
• Substitute frozen peas for fresh. Follow the recipe to blanch them.
• Try other garnishes on top of the egg salad: dried basil, paprika, red chili flakes, grated Parmesan cheese.
