How to....                                                                                                                                          

Simply cook the asparagus in salted boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender, drain well.   Simmer the eggs in a separate pan for 3-5 minutes, drain, cut off top, season, and nestle into the bread & butter

To serve....                                                                                                                                                            Dip asparagus into the boiled egg and enjoy, or cut the asparagus and bread into bite sized pieces and dip in the egg – for an indulgent treat – why not try parmesan shavings too
