PARMESAN EGGS & ASPARAGUS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• ASPARAGUS: Cut each asparagus lengthwise and blanch in salted water. Bring pot with water and 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Cook asparagus for 1 to 2 minutes and set aside for later use. TOAST: Preheat oven 350°F. Cut whole grain bread into 1 inch thick slices and coat with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Toast the bread in the oven for 3-6 minutes to a light golden brown or crisp, but not burned. EGGS: Fry the eggs in a large nonstick sauté pan (cook 4 at a time max) and place a lid over the top to cook the eggs to over easy. Salt and pepper the eggs before placing the lid on. To plate, place three blanched asparagus on each piece of toast then slide an egg on top; add Parmesan and garnish with micro greens. Serve!

ASPARAGUS AND PARMESAN SCRAMBLED EGGS

Steps:

• Break eggs into a bowl and beat. Pour the eggs into a skillet and add the leftover chopped asparagus. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Cook the eggs until they are soft and fluffy.

PARMESAN EGGS

Steps:

• Set aside 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan in an 8-inch ring around the edge of a large nonstick skillet, leaving a 7-inch empty circle in the center. Sprinkle the reserved Parmesan in a line down the center of the circle, dividing it into 2 half-circles. Heat the skillet over medium-low heat.
• Gently crack an egg into each half-circle and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the whites are almost set and the cheese has melted, 3 to 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until the cheese is browned but the egg yolks are still runny, 1 to 2 minutes more. Gently slide the eggs onto a serving plate. The cheese will crisp as it cools.

ASPARAGUS WITH EGGS AND PARMESAN

Steps:

• Poach or steam the asparagus in or over boiling salted water until it is bright green and just tender, 3 to 7 minutes, depending upon thickness. Meanwhile, put 4 Tbs butter in a small saucepan and turn the heat to low.
• Add at least 2 Tbs butter to a large skillet, preferably non-stick, and turn the heat to medium. When the butter melts, crack the eggs into the skillet and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the whites are no longer runny, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the asparagus when it is done and divide among 4 plates. Turn off the heat under the butter the moment it begins to turn brown; if the eggs are not quite ready, keep it warm over the lowest possible heat.
• Top the asparagus with a portion of ham if you're using it, then a fried egg, then a drizzle of the browned butter, and finally a few slices of Parmesan.
• Serve immediately.

ROASTED PARMESAN ASPARAGUS WITH POACHED EGGS AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto; sauté until almost crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Toss asparagus on sheet with remaining oil, then arrange close together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until tender, about 12 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over; roast until melted, about 5 minutes. Divide among 4 plates. Cover to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, pour enough water into large skillet to reach depth of 2 inches. Add 1 teaspoon salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium. Crack 4 eggs, 1 at a time, into simmering water. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still soft, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, gently transfer 1 egg to atop asparagus on each plate. Sprinkle each serving with prosciutto and thyme. Season with salt and pepper; serve.

ASPARAGUS WITH EGGS AND PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
• Snap off the tough ends from the asparagus, and peel the lower half if the stalks are thick.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, and cook the asparagus until just tender, 5 - 8 minutes. Drain, refresh in cold water to set the color, and drain again. Pat dry with paper towels.
• Grease a small gratin dish with about half the butter. Arrange the asparagus spears, tips facing the same direction, in the prepared dish. Drape the prosciutto over the top, tucking the ends under.
• Break the eggs over the asparagus, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, and grind on some pepper.
• Cut the remaining butter into bits and dot the eggs and asparagus evenly.
• Bake until the whites are set and the yokes are still runny, 8 - 10 minutes.
• Eat piping hot.

FRIED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Set oven rack in upper third of oven, then preheat oven to 425°F.
• Cook asparagus in a large deep skillet of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain.
• Generously butter gratin dishes using 1/2 tablespoon butter total, then divide asparagus between them. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with half of cheese.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then fry eggs, seasoning with salt and pepper, until whites are barely set, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully transfer 2 eggs to each gratin dish with a slotted spatula, placing on top of asparagus. Sprinkle eggs with remaining cheese and drizzle with any butter remaining in skillet.
• Bake in upper third of oven until cheese is melted and eggs are cooked as desired, 4 to 5 minutes for runny yolks.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH PARMESAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spray the inside of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil cooking spray. Place asparagus in the dish and lightly spray spears with cooking spray.
• Sprinkle asparagus with Parmesan cheese, sea salt, and garlic powder.
• Roast in preheated oven until fork easily punctures thickest part of stem, about 12 minutes.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Mix 1 cup flour and 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese together in one bowl. Mix egg whites and chives together until foamy in a second bowl. Mix 4 cups shredded Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons flour together in a third bowl.
• Using tongs and working with one piece of asparagus at a time, coat asparagus in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the egg white mixture; coat evenly and let the excess run off. Finally coat in the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently so the cheese adheres. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat to coat remaining asparagus.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While the asparagus is baking, mix mayonnaise, horseradish, ketchup, and Cajun seasoning together in a small bowl. Serve as a dipping sauce alongside asparagus.

EGG-IN-A-HOLE WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease a rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
• In a large, shallow dish, whisk together 1 egg, milk, 1/4 cup Parmesan, a large pinch of salt and pepper, and the remaining tablespoon melted butter. Add bread and let soak for about 2 minutes per side. The bread should be soft and soaked through, but not falling apart.
• Arrange soaked bread on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Pour any remaining soaking mixture from bowl onto the bread slices. Using a cookie cutter or a knife, carefully cut 2 (2 1/2-inch) holes in each slice of soaked bread, making 4 holes in total. Place the cut-out rounds alongside the bread slices on the pan.
• On the other side of the sheet pan, add the asparagus, half of the scallions (save the rest for garnish), thyme and a large pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle asparagus with olive oil, tossing well, and spread into an even single layer.
• Bake until bread is golden on top, 10 minutes. If the asparagus is tender and browned after 10 minutes, use tongs to transfer the stalks to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Thick asparagus may need more time, in which case leave it in the pan for the next step.
• Using a spatula, flip the bread slices and cut-outs. Crack the remaining 4 eggs into the holes (the eggs may overflow a bit, and that is OK). Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan on top of eggs and bread.
• Return pan to the oven and bake until eggs are barely set, about 5 to 7 minutes. The yolks and even some of the whites should jiggle slightly. (Note that the eggs will continue to cook on the sheet pan once out of the oven, so if you like runny yolks, err on the side of early removal.) However, if the egg whites are still translucent, bake for another minute or two.
• To serve, place egg toasts on plates, top each toast with half the asparagus (discarding the thyme sprigs) and garnish with reserved scallions.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS AND EGGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet with a rim, toss asparagus with oil. Season with salt. Bake until asparagus is lightly browned and tender, 15 to 18 minutes (timing will vary depending upon thickness of asparagus).
• In a small saucepan, cook balsamic vinegar and sugar over medium-high heat until syrupy and reduced to 3 tablespoons, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large skillet with 2 inches of water to a simmer over medium heat. Add cider vinegar and season with salt. Break one egg at a time into a cup, then tip cup into pan. Simmer until whites are set and yolks are soft but slightly set, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spatula, scoop out eggs one at a time and drain on paper towels. With a paring knife, trim edges.
• Divide asparagus among four plates and drizzle with reduced balsamic. Top with shaved Parmesan and an egg.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the asparagus and the scallions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is browned and tender.
• Whisk together the eggs, 4 tablespoons of the herbs, and cream. Whisk in Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over asparagus and place the skillet in the oven.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, until set, but still slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before serving. It is best warm, not hot.
• Squeeze one or two lemon wedges over it, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and remaining herbs. Cut into wedges.

PARMESAN GARLIC ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Place the asparagus in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with garlic salt, cayenne and Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 8-10 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.
