    Ingredients You’ll Need

    To make this delicious asparagus salad, you will need:

    Labelled image of ingredients needed to make a roasted asparagus salad with egg.
    • Asparagus: This is the star of the show especially when it is local and in season.
    • Eggs: The eggs can be poached or soft boiled. The key is to make sure that the yolk is runny. That gorgeous yolk acts as a sauce when you cut into the egg.
    • Parmesan: Shave off some pieces with a vegetable peeler.
    • Pine Nuts: Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan to really bring out the flavor.
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil: A drizzle of good quality olive oil brings it all together. If you are feeling fancy, you could also use some truffle oil.
    • Salt and Pepper: A sprinkle of Himalayan or sea salt and freshly ground pepper to season and finish off the salad.

    Detailed ingredient list and directions located in the recipe card below.

    How To Make This Warm Asparagus Salad

    It just takes three easy steps to make this beautiful salad!

    STEP 1: Roast the asparagus. Toss the asparagus with a little olive oil and some salt and pepper. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast in a 425F/220C oven until just tender and slightly golden.

    STEP 2: Cook the eggs. Poach or soft boil the eggs. You want eggs with runny yolks since this will act as a sauce for the asparagus once it is cut into.

    • Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs: Learn how easy it is to make soft boiled eggs in this step-by step tutorial.

    STEP 3: Assemble and serve. Arrange the roasted asparagus on a plate. Top with a poached egg (or soft boiled egg). Scatter over some shaved parmesan and toasted pine nuts. Finally, drizzle over some extra virgin olive oil and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.

    Time to serve! Sit down and cut into the egg. Just watch that beautiful runny yolk, ooze out onto the asparagus. YUM! Dig in and enjoy!

    Possible Variations

    Salads are fun and easy to customize and this one is no exception. Here are a few ideas…

    • Prepare asparagus differently: Instead of roasted asparagus, you could also use grilled or steamed asparagus instead.
    • Add some cured meat: Meat lovers will enjoy this addition. Add some crumbled bacon, crispy pancetta or tear up some thinly sliced prosciutto or bresaola and drape it over the top.
    • Swap out pine nuts: Not a fan of pine nuts? To add some crunchy texture, you could also replace them with a different type of toasted nut or seed or simply leave them out if you prefer.
    • Use a different cheese: Instead of parmesan, you could also use shave off pieces of similar hard cheeses like asiago, pecorino romano or grana padano. Crumbled feta is also nice!
    • Add some lemon: Some lemon zest or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a bright pop of flavor.
    • Use leftover asparagus: This salad is a great way to repurpose any leftover roasted or grilled asparagus from dinner the night before. Simply reheat and prepare the salad.

    Description

    This simple warm asparagus salad recipe features delicious roasted asparagus, eggs with soft runny yolks (poached or soft boiled), parmesan shavings and toasted pine nuts.  The ingredients really shine in this elegant (yet easy to make) spring/summer salad!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed (woody ends snapped off)
    • 1 teaspoon olive oil
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/4 cup parmesan shavings (see note)
    • 2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
    • Drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (or truffle oil)
    • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (I like to use sea salt or Himalayan salt)

    Instructions

    1. Roast Asparagus: Preheat the oven to 425F/220C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Toss asparagus with olive oil and some salt and pepper.  Spread out on the baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness) or until just tender and the tips begin to turn golden and a little crispy.
    2. Cook Eggs: While the asparagus is in the oven, cook your eggs.  Choose between poached eggs and soft boiled eggs.  Whichever method you choose, the egg should have a runny yolk which will act as a sauce.
    3. Assemble + Serve: Divide the asparagus between 2 plates and top each with a poached egg (or soft boiled egg).  Scatter some parmesan shavings and toasted pine nuts on top.  Finally, drizzle over a bit of extra virgin olive oil (or truffle oil if you are feeling fancy) and season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper.  Cut into the egg to release the beautiful, runny yolk.  Dig in and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Parmesan Shavings: Use a vegetable peeler to make thin parmesan shavings
    • Toasted Pine Nuts: Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan to really bring out the flavor.
    • Perfect Poached Eggs: Learn how to make perfect poached eggs with the tips in this step-by-step tutorial.
    • Soft Boiled Eggs: Learn how easy it is to make perfect soft boiled eggs in this post.

      There’s a lot (a LOT) to be said for great ingredients, treated with simplicity, respect, and precision. This is so simple, but so, SO good. I’ve made asparagus a lot of different ways with many of these ingredients, but I must say that the addition of an egg (and a beautifully poached one at that) really turns it into a meal, and I love it! Well done!
