I'm so excited! My Dinner Club Mysteries have now launched, with the first book in the series, TOASTING UP TROUBLE out this week! So, besides presenting a recipe today, I'm also doing a giveaway. But first, the food!
If you have the time in the morning to get creative with breakfast, here's a healthy and tasty alternative to a plain old fried egg. It would also be great for a brunch! Or lunch, or even dinner.
And, although it take a bit more time, it's really very easy to do.
Here's what you'll need:
one egg egg
handful of asparagus spears
shaved cooked ham (as much as you'd like!)
1/2 c. panko
half clove garlic, slivered
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
And here's what you do:
In a skillet, saute asparagus in 1 tbsp. olive oil for approx. 3 minutes.
While still crisp, remove and keep warm. Add panko and slivered garlic; saute until golden.
In another skillet, add 1/2 tbsp. olive oil then fry egg to sunnyside-up perfection.
Layer on plate -- start with asparagus, then add the shaved ham, the fried egg and sprinkle with the panko mixture. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
It's here -- TOASTING UP TROUBLE released last week!
It's the first in the Dinner Club Mysteries and you can win a copy by leaving a comment on today's blog. The lucky winner's name will be drawn tomorrow at noon. Good Luck!

I love fresh asparagus, but I never would have thought of pairing it with a fried egg. Sounds great. Thanks for the wonderful recipe and giveaway. kuzlin at aol.com
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of having asparagus but it sounds (and looks) good. I love fresh asparagus. All the summer vegetables are so delicious. Thanks for the chance to win the first in this series.

ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a good way to start the day.usually I just chop up a batch of vegetables and mix them with scrambled eggs.

My husband has just started eating asparagus (long story, lol), I'll have to try this recipe~ Thanks for the chance to win a copy of Toasting Up Trouble! bobandcelia@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteI wish I could get my kids to eat this. It looks so tasty. utaker555@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great lunch. When I used to have my George Forman grill, I would grill the asparagus with garlic and olive oil and butter and then add toppings to them, but this is far easier in a frying pan and easier to clean up after. Thanks for the quick and easy recipe.

I am obsessed with asparagus...so this is a perfect recipe for me to try!!! Toasting Up Trouble sounds like a wonderful new book. :) bookishnotions (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteAny way that you cook an egg asparagus is just wonderful with it. Our patch did so good we put it on pizza and then we had scrambled eggs with it wow we were just looking for new things to go with it as fresh is so good. I was so sad to end the patch when they were still growing but you have to 6-7 weeks after they have been going strong. We had a night with a good-by to asparagus even our pups loved it. Your new book sounds so good would love to read and review !ptclayton2@aol.com
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new series, I'd love to read it and thanks for the recipe. It looks tasty & simple.
ReplyDeleteI love asparagus..I have tried steak and used it or quiche and used it I will have to try this...love the cover...thanks for the contest. Marilyn ewatvess@yahoo.com
