Equipment

  • Non-stick frying pan
  • toaster

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by trimming the tough ends of the asparagus stalks. In a non-stick frying pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over low to medium heat. Once warm, add a minced garlic clove and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, toss in the asparagus, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and sauté until tender, which should take about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In the same pan after removing the asparagus, crack two eggs into the pan over low heat. Cook them gently for 2-3 minutes, just until the whites are set, but the yolks remain runny or cook longer for firmer yolks.
  3. While your eggs are cooking, toast your rustic bread slices until golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or grill them in a pan with a touch of olive oil for added flavor.
  4. Once your bread is toasted, start layering the dish. Place each slice of toast on a plate and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Then, artfully arrange the sautéed asparagus over the cheese, followed by the grilled eggs on top.
  5. To finish, garnish your dish with freshly chopped basil and parsley leaves. You might also want to add a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of extra feta. Serve immediately while everything is warm.
