Chatty Girly Lunch

What you need....

8 rashers pancetta

2 eggs

1 bunch, approx 8 spears asparagus, trimmed

2 slices seeded wholemeal bread & butter

Freshly ground black pepper & salt

 What to do...

This takes a bit of coordination to time everything, so it all is ready at the same time – the cooked pancetta can be kept warm, but poached eggs won’t wait...so time accordingly!

Cook the asparagus in salted boiling water for 6-8 minutes, then drain well. Grill or bake the pancetta until crispy, guideline- 3 to 4 minutes under high heat. 

Poach the eggs in simmering water for 3 to 4 minutes. 

Toast the bread, and spread with butter.

Assemble, season and enjoy for a treat lunch with a good friend
