Ingredients

Kosher salt
1/2 pound (225g) asparagus,
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons (22g) unsalted butter
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, for grating
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

1

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook asparagus until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain.
2

Meanwhile, in a small nonstick or cast iron skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat until foaming. Add egg, season with salt, and cook until whites are just set and the edges are crispy but the yolk is still runny, about 2 minutes.

Arrange asparagus on a plate in a single, even layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grate some cheese on top. Slide fried egg on top of asparagus. Drizzle with more oil, grate more cheese on top, and finish with some more freshly ground black pepper. Serve.
