Report
Asparagus with Chopped Egg is the perfect dish for spring when asparagus is in its prime. The lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, sesame, and chopped egg complement the simply pan-roasted asparagus so well. Serve immediately and warm!

Ingredients
- 4 eggs hard-boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
- 1 lemon juice, about 1 tablespoon
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 lb asparagus ends trimmed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
Do Ahead
- Boil the eggs. Don't peel and chop them until just before serving.
Prepare the Dish
- Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, sesame seeds and lemon juice.
- Place the chopped, cooked eggs in a medium bowl and lightly season with salt and pepper, and then drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over them, and gently toss to coat. Set aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted and starting to foam a little, add the asparagus in a single layer.
- Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper and add the smoked paprika.
- Cook until the asparagus is tender and has just started to brown, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and immediately place on a serving platter.
- Spoon the remaining vinaigrette over the them and top with the eggs.
Notes
- NOTE: Watch the video near the top of the recipe for visual guidance.
- NOTE:
- You can use thin or thick asparagus. If going with thick, you'll need to sauté at least another 5 to 10 minutes, until soft.
- The vinaigrette can be made up to 24 hours in advance. You can hard boil the eggs up to 4 to 5 days in advance, too. Leave the shells on.
- See the video for the easy process of making hard-boiled eggs.
