Belgium Butter Crumbed Asparagus Eggs for Two image

It is something of a timing feat for one cook to have the asparagus hot and crisp, the crumbs golden, and the Eggs Mollet all done at the proper time, so a shift from mollet to hard cooked eggs is perfectly in order if you wish.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups fine soft french breadcrumbs
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed
4 eggs, mollet (recipe below) or 4 freshly cooked and finely chopped hard-boiled eggs
salt
4 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
4 teaspoons snipped fresh chives
lemon wedge
black pepper, in a grinder

Steps:

  • In a heavy frying pan over medium heat, sauté crumbs in butter until they are crisp and deep golden and butter is slightly browned.
  • Meantime, cook asparagus in gently boiling salted water until just tender crisp; drain well.
  • Arrange asparagus on two warm serving plates. Top each serving with 2 eggs mollet. Season asparagus and eggs with salt.
  • Pour bubbling crumbs over top. Sprinkle with parsley and chives. Garnish with lemon wedges. Pass pepper grinder. Makes 2 supper servings.
  • EGGS MOLLET: Have 4 eggs at room temperature. In a saucepan, bring to a rapid boil enough water to cover the eggs. Place each egg on a spoon and lower it into the water. Reduce heat until water barely simmers, and cook eggs for exactly 6 minutes. Drain immediately and plunge into cold water. Peel and cut in half lengthwise.
