Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs asparagus spears
Tarragon Sauce
- 2 tbsp butter (separated)
- 2 tbsp finely chopped shallot (1 medium)
- 1 tbsp dried tarragon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tbsp Dijon-style mustard
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Toppings
- 4 oz prosciutto torn or cut into 2x1-inch pieces
- 2 hard boiled eggs finely chopped
Instructions
- Snap off and discard woody ends from asparagus.
Tarragon sauce:
- In a small saucepan melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot; cook and stir about 2 minutes or until softened.
