About the Recipe

Flavoursome breakfast in the oven.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound (450g) thin asparagus, woody ends trimmed 

  • 1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved or not 

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 

  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, optional 

  • 4 large eggs 

  • 2 tablespoons coarsely shaved Parmesan optional 

  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives Crusty whole-grain bread, optional

Preparation

Step 1 Preheat oven to 425ºF / 220ºC. Toss asparagus and tomatoes with oil in a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold vegetables in a single layer. Roast, shaking pan halfway through, until asparagus is just tender and tomatoes have wilted, about 12 minutes. Immediately drizzle with vinegar, if desired. Step 2 Crack eggs over asparagus mixture. Return to oven and roast until egg whites are just set, about 7 minutes. Top with cheese, sprinkle with chives and serve. Add crusty bread on the side, if desired.
