Chef's Note

For perfectly soft-boiled eggs, timing is everything. Start with room temperature eggs if possible, and immediately transfer them to the ice bath after cooking to stop the cooking process. This prevents the yolks from becoming too firm.

Ingredients
  • 16 spears asparagus spears

  • 8 slices prosciutto slices

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions
  • 1

    Fill a medium saucepan with water and bring to a gentle boil.

  • 2

    Carefully lower 4 large eggs into the boiling water and set a timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.

  • 3

    While eggs are cooking, trim the woody ends from 16 asparagus spears (about 1 inch from the bottom).

  • 4

    Wrap each asparagus spear with half a slice of prosciutto, starting from the bottom and spiraling up, leaving the tip exposed.

  • 5

    Prepare an ice bath in a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

  • 6

    When the eggs are done, immediately transfer them to the ice bath using a slotted spoon and let cool for 2 minutes.

  • 7

    Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  • 8

    Add the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crisp.

  • 9

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to make a dressing.

  • 10

    Carefully peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half.

  • 11

    Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus on two plates, place the halved eggs alongside, and scatter 1 cup of cherry tomatoes around the plate.

  • 12

    Drizzle the dressing over the asparagus and eggs, and serve immediately.
