The Strategy:

Coating tender asparagus spears in a savory mustard-mayonnaise blend and seasoned breadcrumbs yields a wonderfully crispy baked side. Placing a soft, butter-glazed egg over the hot asparagus creates a luxurious sauce as the yolk breaks. A quick steam with a splash of water in the pan ensures the eggs cook up perfectly soft and tender.

Instructions

Asparagus Prep

Preheat the oven to 375°. Lay the asparagus onto a cutting board.
Cut off the tough end at their natural break points.
Peel the stems.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the asparagus.
Season with salt and pepper.

Breading and Baking

Whisk together the mayonnaise and mustard in a shallow bowl.
Stir the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese in another bowl.
Roll an asparagus spear first in the mayo blend and then in the breadcrumbs.
Place onto a baking sheet. Continue with the remaining spears.
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake the asparagus until the coating begins to turn golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Glazed Eggs and Assembly

Turn off the oven and keep the asparagus warm while you prepare the eggs. In a large non-stick skillet with a lid, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Crack an egg into a small bowl or cup. Gently pour the egg into the skillet. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Immediately turn down the heat to low.
Drizzle 2 tablespoons water around the eggs and cover the pan with the lid.
Cook until the eggs are just beginning to set, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the lid and season with salt, pepper, and chopped chives.
Place three or four spears on a plate. Slide a glazed egg over the top.
