Ingredients

  • 4 None eggs
  • 2 1/2 tbsp butter
  • 3/4 cup coarse breadcrumbs
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 3 bunches asparagus (1 lb), trimmed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 7 oz ham, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped

Method

  • To hard boil the eggs, place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water reaches a boil, remove from the heat. Let eggs sit in hot water for 12 mins, drain then run under cold water. Peel and cut into quarters.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a large frying pan, add breadcrumbs and garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy.
  • Coat asparagus in oil. Cook along with ham in a frying pan over medium heat until asparagus is tender and ham is crispy. Transfer asparagus to a platter, top with eggs, ham, breadcrumbs and chives. Season and serve.
