Ingredients
- 4 slices rustic country bread
- 1 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- kosher salt and black pepper
- 8 large eggs*
- 1/4 cup Parmesan (1 ounce)
- *Because the eggs in this recipe are not fully cooked, there is a risk of food-borne illness.
Directions
- Heat broiler. Place the bread and asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Broil until the bread is toasted, 1 to 2 minutes per side; transfer the bread to plates. Continue broiling the asparagus, tossing once, until tender, 4 to 8 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water. Reduce heat and gently simmer for 6 minutes. Cool under running water and peel.
- Divide the asparagus among the toast, sprinkle on the Parmesan, and top with the eggs.

Quick Tip
While some swear by thin asparagus, the thicker variety is actually just as tender, as long as you peel the lower third of
the spears before cooking.

FRESH PICK
Turnips
Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it
is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
