May 28, 2015 · by Ari · 3 Comments

Prosciutto wrapped asparagus gives the best of this summer produce with perfectly roasted asparagus, flavorful prosciutto, and a creamy poached egg. Tons of flavor with only a handful of ingredients!

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with a Poached Egg: The perfect healthy & easy summer side dish!

You guys, you guys, you guyyyyysss! I poached my first egg today!!! It was so exciting, and nerve wracking, and I was 99% sure I was going to mess it up like 17 times before I got it right, but then this beautiful, perfectly cooked poached egg came out on my very first try, and I squealed like a little girl, and then immediately took 700 pictures, and came here to tell you about it.

I’m pretty sure I will never eat an egg cooked any other way again. A perfectly soft white with a creamy, drippy yolk…uggghhh I die. I used Eggland’s Best eggs, and they worked out great!. Compared to regular eggs, Eggland’s Best eggs have 25% less saturated fat, 1o x more vitamin E, 4 x more vitamin D and 3 x more vitamin B12. Also, I may just be biased, but I think they make bomb poached eggs. If you’d like more information on their nutrition benefits, you can check out their nutrition info.

Okay so let’s talk about this little combo. I am a huge fan of roasted asparagus. In fact, I will only eat it roasted or grilled. Steamed asparagus? Gag. I need those crispy, crunchy bites on the end. Asparagus is usually my go-to veggie. It’s so easy to make, and it comes out perfect every time. A little olive oil, salt and lemon pepper and you’re good to go.

I roasted my asparagus like normal, then just divided into two bundles, and wrapped each with half a slice of prosciutto and topped each bundle with a poached egg. Insanely easy (who ever thought you could say that about a recipe involving a poached egg! But it was!), and so delicious. Perfect for a side dish, appetizer or even breakfast!

Prosciutto wrapped asparagus gives the best of this summer produce with perfectly roasted asparagus, flavorful prosciutto, and a creamy poached egg. Tons of flavor with only a handful of ingredients!
Ingredients
  • 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (or less--just a light drizzle)
  • pinch salt
  • pinch lemon pepper
  • 1 slice prosciutto, sliced length-wise
  • 2 poached eggs
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400. Lay asparagus in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Add salt and lemon pepper. Roast until lightly browned and ends are crispy, about 20 minutes.
  2. Divide into two bundles and wrap each bundle with prosciutto. Top with a poached egg. Serve immediately.
Notes
I used this tutorial for my poached eggs and it worked great! I did not have a ruler or a thermometer so I eyeballed all of it based on what I saw on the video, and everything still turned out ok. I used a paper towel for drying.

    Confession: I’ve never poached my own egg before either. You give me hope that I can do it! And with this combo? Oh yes I will try!
