Ingredients
- 2 eggs large, Note 1
- 6 talks asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small handful arugula rocket
- 2 lices sourdough bread Note 2
- 2 sun-dried tomatoes in oil
- 2 teaspoons capers
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon parmesan freshly grated
- fine sea salt or Kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook eggs: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the water. Simmer for 6 minutes. Remove and place in a bowl of ice or very cold water to stop the cooking process. 2 eggs
- Cook asparagus: In the meantime, wash and dry the asparagus stalks, and remove their lower woody ends. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the asparagus for about 3 or 4 minutes, shaking the pan a few times in between. Add some salt and pepper. Halve the cooked asparagus stalks if desired to fit better on the bread slices. 6 asparagus stalks, 1 tablespoon olive oil + salt + pepper
- Prepare ingredients: Wash and dry the arugula leaves. Toast the bread. Chop the tomatoes and the capers. 1 small handful arugula + 2 slices bread + 2 sun-dried tomatoes in oil + 2 teaspoon capers
- Assemble toast: Spread one tablespoon of mayonnaise on each toast. Top with arugula, asparagus, tomatoes, and capers. Peel and halve the soft-boiled eggs, place them on top, sprinkle a little Parmesan over the toast, and serve immediately. 2 tablespoon mayonnaise + 1 tablespoon Parmesan

Notes
- Eggs: They should be cold, straight from the fridge. For hard-boiled eggs, increase the cooking time by 3-4 minutes. You can also poach or fry the eggs instead.
- Bread: Use baker-quality, sturdy rye or whole wheat bread. Don’t use packaged toast bread; it’s too soft and too sweet.
