Enjoy a gourmet twist with this Roasted Asparagus Prosciutto and Egg recipe! Tender asparagus wrapped in savory prosciutto and crowned with a luscious, runny egg makes for a stunning appetizer or a hearty breakfast.
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
8 slices prosciutto
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: Parmesan cheese for garnish
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wrap 2-3 asparagus spears with one slice of prosciutto.
Place wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Roast for 10-12 minutes, until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp.
Meanwhile, cook eggs to your preference (poached, fried, or soft-boiled).
Plate the roasted asparagus and top with a cooked egg.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional Parmesan.
Serve immediately.
For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes after roasting.
Use thin asparagus for quicker cooking.
Substitute pancetta for prosciutto if preferred.
