<\/p>\nAsparagus Soldiers with Soft-Boiled Egg\u00c2\u00a0 Hollandaise<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This is a quick and rather nifty way to enjoy the combination of tender, fresh asparagus and a buttery, eggy sauce without any of the work that a proper hollandaise requires. And it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s an awful lot of fun to eat. As with all asparagus recipes, get the very freshest spears you can.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About 20 asparagus spears<\/p>\n
2 large eggs, at room temperature<\/p>\n
1 T. unsalted butter<\/p>\n
A little cider vinegar<\/p>\n
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prepare the asparagus by snapping off any woody ends (the spears will break naturally where they are tender). You could steam the asparagus spears above the boiling eggs – if very freshly cut, they will take about the same amount of time. Otherwise, simmer or steam the asparagus separately until tender but not too floppy – 8 minutes at the most for the thickest stems. Time them so they are ready just ahead of the eggs. Meanwhile, bring another pan of water to a boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and simmer for about 4 minutes (the yolks must be quite runny or the hollandaise effect will be hard to achieve).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
