Ingredients
1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh herbs for garnish (e.g., parsley or chives)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender but still crisp.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, or until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the asparagus.
- Using a spoon, make small wells in the asparagus mixture for the eggs.
- Carefully crack an egg into each well. Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet to cook the eggs to your preferred doneness (about 5–7 minutes for sunny-side-up eggs).
- Once the eggs are cooked, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the skillet, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Fresh asparagus offers the best texture and flavor.
Use a non-stick or cast-iron skillet for best results.
Covering the skillet ensures even egg cooking.
Customize with additional proteins or vegetables.
