Total Time: 35 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 1 large egg
• 1 lb medium asparagus (about 1 large bunch)
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 450 degrees f.
• 2 put the egg in a small saucepan with enough cold water to cover. bring to a boil. cover the pot, and remove from the heat; set aside for 10 minutes. drain; roll the egg between your palm and the counter to crack the shell, and then peel under cool running water.
• 3 trim the woody ends from the asparagus. spread the spears in a single layer on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the salt, and roll to coat thoroughly. roast the asparagus until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes, giving the pan a good shake about halfway through to turn the asparagus. arrange the roasted asparagus on a serving platter. rub the egg through a medium-mesh strainer and sprinkle it over the asparagus.
• 4 grind a generous amount of black pepper over the top. serve warm or room temperature.
