One of my favorite ways to cook asparagus is to roast it as roasting seems to concentrate the flavour. Simple roasted asparagus seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper is makes a great side dish and you can easily top it with various things to change it up from meal to meal. You could also top it with something more substantial, like an egg, and turn it into a light meal. Though I have done roasted asparagus topped with fried eggs, scrambled eggs and even chopped up hard boiled eggs my favorite is a poached egg. Roasted asparagus topped with a poached egg makes for a really nice light and healthy meal that I have been enjoying often on weekend mornings over the last few weeks. Really, how can you go wrong topping anything with an egg with a nice runny yolk? I also like to top everything off with some freshly grated parmigiano reggiano and sometimes even a splash of balsamic vinegar.
