Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 4 large asparagus spears
- Olive oil
Method
- Prepare the asparagus by snapping or cutting off the tough lower ends. Place the asparagus into a microwave safe dish, cover and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Remove from microwave and drizzle slightly with olive oil.
To Boil Egg
- If using a microwave egg boiler, prepare according to the directions of the egg boiler, resulting in a soft yolk.
- If boiling on a stove top, take a saucepan and half fill it with cold water from the tap. Gently lower the eggs into the saucepan.
- Place the pan over a medium heat. When the water reaches a simmer, start the timer so you can precisely time the cooking process. If you gently stir the eggs in a clockwise direction, the movement of the water will help centre the yolks.
- Simmer the eggs in the saucepan for the length of time that suits your boiled eggs preference. For soft boiled eggs, simmer the eggs for 4 mins for runny yolks.
To serve, place the egg in an egg cup with the top cut off and place the asparagus beside.
Notes
To add a bit of decadence to your meal, add some parmesan shavings!
