    About this olive oil fried egg recipe:

    I know eggs are nothing new but sometimes we need a little inspiration to change things up a bit like with this olive oil fried egg dish served over roasted asparagus and fresh salty prosciutto. 

    This dish was inspired by a trip to a restaurant in Boston a few years ago. The combination of the fried egg with prosciutto and asparagus is so delicious and it will keep you full until lunch.

    The ingredients you will need for this olive oil fried egg with prosciutto and asparagus

    • eggs
    • asparagus
    • prosciutto
    • olive oil
    • salt and pepper
    • crusty bread (optional but highly recommended)

    Why eggs fried in olive oil are so delicious:

    If you haven't tried frying eggs in olive oil, you are in for a real treat with this recipe. Frying eggs in olive oil keeps the eggs really moist, crisps up the edges and imparts a subtle olive flavor to the eggs.

    Making this recipe

    This is such an amazing combination and such a great way to start your day.  Savory breakfasts are my favorite and this is one of my go to choices.

    Making olive oil fried eggs with prosciutto and asparagus is not complicated since you can start roasting your asparagus while you drink your morning coffee and then half way through the roasting, you can start frying up your egg (or eggs if you are making this for more than just yourself). 

    It may seems like a lot of parts to this dish but once you start cooking it everything it comes together in just minutes and then it is just assemble and eat!   Such a treat on the weekend or during the week!
