352 Day Nutritional Challenge: Recipe 34 - Asparagus, Egg and Bacon Delight

I love this recipe, because it involves my favorite foods -- asparagus, bacon and eggs. I also created it myself. It's asparagus season, and I enjoy bacon-wrapped asparagus, so add the egg and you've got either the perfect breakfast or dinner food (it's one that is interchangeable). 

Some cooks prefer to bake the asparagus and bacon in the oven. I chose to fry the asparagus with the bacon already wrapped around. It gives the asparagus a flavorful, but not too overwhelming taste of bacon. Although turning the asparagus in the frying pan and keeping the bacon wrapped around it, did create a challenge. 

 This dish can be served for two. I felt pretty full after eating the whole plate. So you can cut it in half and feel sated.

INGREDIENTS

2 EGGS

6 ASPARAGUS SPEARS

6 PIECES OF BACON

OLIVE OIL

BLACK PEPPER

SALT TO TASTE

1. Wrap bacon around asparagus spears.

2. Take a large frying pan, lightly coat the bottom in olive oil. Please the spears in the pan and turn until the bacon is fully cooked, but not crisp.

3. Take another small frying pan, coat it lightly in olive oil. Crack two eggs sunny-side up. When all of the egg whites bubble and turn white, turn off burner, and let sit 30 seconds.

4. Place the asparagus spears on a plate, take the eggs and carefully slide them on top of the spears. Now pepper only the eggs and add salt to taste (caution: the bacon is pretty salty so you might want to avoid salting it). 

See! Easy eggs, asparagus and bacon -- YUM!
