Asparagus with fried egg and smoked bacon mayonnaise

A line of asparagus on an oval plate with a fried Clarence Court egg on top, topped with smoked bacon mayonnaise

Prep Time: 10 minutes, plus cooling

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Serves: 4

Blanched British asparagus spears are elevated with a rich, egg and crispy bacon mayonnaise for dipping and dunking. Spoon it generously over the warm asparagus for a simple but luxurious spring dish that’s perfect as a starter.

3 Seabright Sage eggs
375ml mild olive or sunflower oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
6g fine sea salt
30g cider vinegar
Crispy bacon, finely chopped
Asparagus

Fry 3 eggs in olive oil and leave until completely cold, then place them into a jug that will fit the stick blender snugly.

Add the oil, Dijon mustard, sea salt and cider vinegar, and leave to settle for a minute.

Using your hand blender, start blending from the bottom, gently pulling up once the mixture starts to emulsify.

Scrape into a bowl, stir through the chopped bacon and dollop over a generous stack of blanched British asparagus.
