Asparagus with fried egg and smoked bacon mayonnaise
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.
Method
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.
