Ingredients
250g pack Grower’s Selection Asparagus
100g pack Chosen by you Prosciutto
4 large eggs, to serve
Method
1
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Slice off the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
2
Wrap each asparagus stem in a slice of the prosciutto and put on a baking sheet.
3
Cook the asparagus in the preheated oven for 10 mins or until the prosciutto starts to crisp.
4
Meanwhile, place the eggs in a large pan and add enough cold water to just cover them. Bring to the boil, then turn down the heat and simmer for exactly 3 mins.
5
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the soft boiled eggs from the pan and put into egg cups. Serve straight away with the prosciutto- wrapped asparagus soldiers for dipping.
