Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon large shallots, peeled and sliced into 4 thick slice
  • 4 tablespoon large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoon grain mustard
  • 8 ounce asparagus, peeled if thick, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable stock or water
  • 2 head frisee, washed and cut into small pieces
  • 8 slice proscuitto

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Place 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small ovenproof sauté pan.

Put shallots in pan and sprinkle with salt.

Turn stove on high and cook until shallots begin to sizzle.

Cover with a lid or foil and place in oven until tender but not falling apart, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool.

For the eggs:Place a pan large enough to hold 4 eggs on medium high heat.

After a minute, spray the pan with vegetable spray to coat the bottom and add a tablespoon of olive oil.

Add the eggs and immediately place in the oven to cook.

After about 3-4 minutes when the whites are set, they are ready.

For the vinaigrette:Place juice, vinegar, mustard and a pinch of salt in to a mixing bowl.

While whisking, slowly drizzle in 4 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Check seasoning and reserve.

Heat a medium sauté pan on high heat and add remaining oil.

When oil is just below smoking point, add asparagus and cook until lightly brown, about 3-5 minutes depending on thickness.

Add shallots and toss on heat for 30 seconds.

Take off the flame and add seeds and toast for about 20-30 seconds.

Then add stock or water to prevent further browning.

Dress frisee with vinaigrette and divide onto 4 plates or shallow bowl.

Top with 2 slices of proscuitto and 1 egg in each bowl.

Spoon over asparagus and eat.
