Asparagus with eggs Bismark-style, more protein for a reinforced and hearty diet. First of all I would like to explain what Bismark is: it is a type of preparation with vegetables or with meat and it also features an egg fried sunny-side up on top. This robust dish takes its name from the German chancellor Bismark, a very strong man who loved to eat hearty and substantial dishes like himself; he believed that those who worked hard should be well fed. So it’s easy to understand where the name comes from. Without a doubt my preference goes to the pairing of vegetables and a fried egg, which I consider a complete main course with eggs and asparagus. And here today is my asparagus with Bismark-style eggs.

Ingredients
- 6 oz asparagus
- 2 eggs
- 1 3/4 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan
- 1 tsp salt
Tools
- Asparagus steamer
- Frying pan
- Frying pan small
- 2 Plates
Preparation
At this time of year the asparagus are so tender that you don’t need to peel the outer layer; at least I don’t. I cook the asparagus in salted water for 15 minutes.
After draining them well, I divide them onto two serving plates. In a small pan I melt the butter and cook the eggs.
Now I place the eggs on top of the asparagus and spoon the hot butter over them.
I finish the asparagus with plenty of Parmesan and serve immediately.
See how simple it is to prepare asparagus with Bismark eggs?
A tasty and satisfying single-course dish.
