Asparagus and eggs


Make friends with your coworkers who live on farms.  You will be the recipient of eggs and asparagus. And you will mix the eggs and asparagus with thyme, cheese, and milk and bake it until the edges are set and the middle is a bit wobbly.  Let it cool to room temp and you will love every luxurious bite of this savory flan. Next time though you'll cook it in a water bath so it cooks more evenly.  

Interesting how the cheese sank and the asparagus floated.

Or you'll saute the asparagus with shallots, peas, tarragon, and cooked red new potatoes and top it with a poached egg.  Then you'll plate it like you're fancy but once the pic is taken, eat it like you were raised in a barn because how else are you going to lick up all that insta-sauce, a.k.a. egg yolk?

Who needs hollandaise when you've got thick, runny, yolk?
