  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 5 slices parma ham, halved lengthways
  • 4 large free-range rich golden yolk eggs
  • 3 slices wheat and rye bread
  • 2 tbsp butter, to serve

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200°C/ 180°C fan/ gas 6. Spread the asparagus over a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking paper then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper then toss to coat.

Step 2

Once coated, wrap each spear of asparagus with half a slice of parma ham and return to the tray. Set on a high shelf and cook for 10 mins, until crisp.

Step 3

Meanwhile, bring a pan of water to the boil and carefully add the eggs. Cook for 5 mins then drain and set in a bowl of room temperature water to cool slightly.

Step 4

Toast the bread and spread liberally with butter, then cut into soldiers.

Step 5

Transfer the eggs to egg cups and serve alongside the hot asparagus and buttery soldiers.
