Asparagus with Chopped Egg is the perfect dish for spring when asparagus is in its prime. The lemon, extra-virgin olive oil, sesame, and chopped egg complement the simply pan-roasted asparagus so well. Serve immediately and warm!

Ingredients

4 eggs hard-boiled, peeled and roughly chopped
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds toasted
1 lemon juice, about 1 tablespoon
2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lb asparagus ends trimmed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

Do Ahead

Boil the eggs. Don't peel and chop them until just before serving.
4 eggs

Prepare the Dish

Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the olive oil, sesame seeds and lemon juice.
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 lemon
Place the chopped, cooked eggs in a medium bowl and lightly season with salt and pepper, and then drizzle about 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette over them, and gently toss to coat. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter. Once melted and starting to foam a little, add the asparagus in a single layer.
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 lb asparagus
Season with a large pinch of salt and pepper and add the smoked paprika.
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Cook until the asparagus is tender and has just started to brown, about 3 - 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and immediately place on a serving platter.
Spoon the remaining vinaigrette over the them and top with the eggs.

Notes

NOTE: Watch the video near the top of the recipe for visual guidance.

You can use thin or thick asparagus. If going with thick, you'll need to sauté at least another 5 to 10 minutes, until soft.

The vinaigrette can be made up to 24 hours in advance. You can hard boil the eggs up to 4 to 5 days in advance, too. Leave the shells on.

See the video for the easy process of making hard-boiled eggs.
