Asparagus with fried egg by Linda Wiken, author #giveaway #new release


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.

  Enjoy!



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!

  18. Sounds 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.

  35. Any 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
