Asparagus with Mimosa Topping

By á-4174

Ingredients

• 2 slices whole-wheat bread, crusts removed
• Cooking spray
• 1 hard-boiled egg
• 3 tbsp. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• Pinch of freshly ground pepper
• 2 bunches asparagus (about 2-1/2 pounds) woody bottoms removed
• 1 tbsp. water

Preparation

Step 1

Pulsa the bread in a food processor until it becomes fine crumbs. Coat a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat the pan over medium-high heat until hot. Lower the heat to medium, add the bread crumbs and then toast, tossing often until they are golden brown and toasted, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Peel, then grate the egg, using the medium holes of a box grater or on a medium rasp grater. Combine the egg, bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan, salt and pepper in a medium bowl and toss to combine.

Place the asparagus in a large microwave-safe bowl with the water. Cover tightly and microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain well.

Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle evenly with the topping.
