Asparagus with Herb Eggs




Asparagus is on sale this week, there are so many ways to cook it. Make into soup, stir fry with sambal belacan (shrimp paste)  wowowo.., wrap them with bacon yum yum yum... I cooked them with eggs and herbs and this is our side dish for dinner tonight.

9 or more fresh asparagus, wash and snap or trim off the end stems

1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp McCormick Lemon Herb seasoning
a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
salt to taste

2 eggs

Oil for pan frying

In a small bowl, mix together all the seasonings: paprika, lemon herb, cayenne pepper and set aside or you can sprinkle direct from the bottle, which I did.

Heat a frying pan on high heat, add oil, then asparagus, turning from time to time for about 2 to 3 minutes.  Line up the asparagus and gently pour the eggs (one at a time) on top of it. Sprinkle the seasonings and salt onto the eggs and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium and let cook for about 5 minutes or longer, depending on how cooked you want the eggs to be. We like ours half cooked. Serve warm.
