Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Put the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water and bring (uncovered) to the boil, then on a rolling simmer for 4-5 minutes.

* Step 2

Warm the butter in the ramekins.

* Step 3

Meanwhile, flex the asparagus so that the hard ends snap off. Use the ends later for soup, if wished. Bring fresh, salted water to a fast boil in a saucepan, put in the asparagus and, as soon as back to the boil, cook for 30-40 seconds maximum. Then remove and plunge the asparagus into a bowl of icy water to arrest their cooking.

* Step 4

Place one egg in an egg cup, a ramekin of butter and half of the asparagus on each of two plates. Enjoy - try dipping the asparagus tips alternately into the melted butter and egg yolk. Add salt to the egg if wished.
