Eggs Strapazzate Del Giardino With White Asparagus Recipes

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.

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.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a heavy pot. Cover with 4 cups cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, immediately reduce to a bare simmer, and cook eggs 9 minutes. Crack the shells and put in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes, then drain.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Spread asparagus on a large baking sheet. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast, turning occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes, and transfer to a platter.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, toast the black and white sesame seeds until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour into a bowl and toss with coarse sea salt.
• Peel the eggs and finely chop. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet and cook until it starts to smell nutty, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped eggs.
• To serve, spoon the egg mixture over the asparagus, then sprinkle with sesame salt and chives.

Steps:

• Snap the woody ends off the asparagus. Steam for five minutes. Refresh with ice-cold water, then drain and dry on paper towels. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Cut the boiled eggs in half, mince the yolks and whites separately, and season with salt and pepper
• In a salad bowl, whisk together the vinegar (or lemon juice and vinegar) and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the asparagus, capers and herbs, and toss together. Add the chopped egg yolks and whites, then toss together again and serve.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot of water, bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover and let sit 6 minutes. Yolks will be set but not fully hard cooked. Remove from the pot and set aside. Roll up the prosciutto and cut it in chunks. Place in a food processor with the bread crumbs and pulse until fairly fine.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet, add prosciutto mixture and sauté on medium, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Bring a pot of water large enough to hold the asparagus to a boil, add asparagus, reduce heat to medium and cook until asparagus are tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain, season with salt and pepper and cover to keep warm. Peel eggs and chop them. Mix them in a bowl with the remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Arrange asparagus on a serving platter. Scatter prosciutto crumbs over them and spoon on the eggs.
