I know eggs are nothing new but sometimes we need a little inspiration to change things up a bit like with this 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; I can’t remember the name of the restaurant anymore but I do remember this dish!
This is such an amazing combination and such a great way to start your day. It 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). Then it is just assemble! Such a treat on the weekend or during the week!
