Asparagus, Soft-Fried Egg and Nutty Butter

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides a healthier fat option.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

Snap off the tough woody ends of the asparagus and set them aside.

Plunge the asparagus into boiling soda water for 30 seconds to a minute, depending on their size.

Remove the asparagus and place them on kitchen paper or a clean tea towel to drain excess water.

Prepare a soft-fried egg by placing greaseproof or baking paper in a pan.

Add a small amount of butter to the pan and crack the egg on top of the paper.

Cook the egg on low heat until the whites are set and the yolk remains runny.

Once the egg is almost set, plate the warm asparagus.

In the same pan, add a knob of butter to make Burnette, allowing it to turn nutty in color.

Pour the nutty butter over the plated asparagus and egg.

Grate some Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
