1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
4 slices prosciutto
2 eggs
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: grated Parmesan cheese or lemon zest for garnish
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spread asparagus on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
Wrap 2–3 asparagus stalks with a slice of prosciutto.
Roast for 12–15 minutes until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crispy.
Meanwhile, soft-boil or poach the eggs (about 6 minutes for soft yolk).
Plate the roasted asparagus bundles, top each with an egg.
Optionally garnish with Parmesan or lemon zest before serving.
You can use pancetta or bacon as an alternative to prosciutto.
For a vegetarian version, omit prosciutto and add a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
Great served with toast or crusty bread.
