Asparagus with Fried Egg and Parmesan


Made this for breakfast today. I love roasted asparagus and the fried eggs on top made it perfect for breakfast! The runny egg yolk added a richness to the dish that when paired with the asparagus and the parmesan cheese made this dish outstanding! I garnished mine with half a piece of crumbled turkey bacon. Yum-o! This will fill you up but not have you feeling weighed down.

Ingredients
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and rinsed
4 eggs
salt and pepper
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 piece crumbled turkey bacon (optional garnish)

Procedures
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spread the trimmed asparagus in a large roasting pan big enough to hold them all in one layer. Drizzle on about a tablespoon or two of olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Coat each spear in the oil by rolling them around in the pan. Set in the oven for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, fry eggs sunny side up. Remove asparagus pan from oven. Transfer the spears to a plate. Sprinkle with grated parmesan then carefully slide the fried egg on top. Top with bacon if desired.
