Instructions
Firstly, bring a saucepan to the boil and blanch the asparagus for 1-2 minutes, then drain, and run the asparagus under cold water to stop them from cooking.
Heat a frying pan on a medium heat and add some extra virgin olive oil. Add the asparagus to the frying pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté until tender, then remove and set aside.
In the same pan, fry the eggs until cooked but very runny.
Divide the asparagus between 4 plates and add a fried egg to each plate. Then sprinkle parmesan cheese generously over each plate.
Notes
Alternatively you can serve all the asparagus and fried eggs on one serving platter for people to help themselves.
