For an even richer flavor, try using butter instead of olive oil. A sprinkle of Parmesan cheese adds a lovely savory note. If you don't have a lid for your skillet, you can use a baking sheet to cover it.
Celebrate the vibrant flavors of spring with this elegant and simple dish. Tender asparagus spears, kissed with garlic-infused oil, cradle perfectly cooked eggs for a delightful breakfast or light lunch.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic; cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. (Time: 30 seconds)
Add asparagus and cook until tender-crisp, turning occasionally, about 4 minutes. (Time: 4 minutes)
Create small wells amongst the asparagus and gently crack an egg into each well. (Time: 1 minute)
Cover the skillet and cook until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking, about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk. (Time: 3-4 minutes)
Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired, and serve immediately. (Time: 1 minute)
