Steps:
- Snap off and discard the tough bottoms of each asparagus spear. If using large thick asparagus, peel the lower ends with a vegetable peeler. Medium asparagus will not need peeling.
- Bring a medium saucepan half filled with water to a boil, carefully add the eggs and simmer briskly for 9 minutes (10 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk). Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Shell the eggs and set aside.
- Make the vinaigrette: In a small bowl, place the shallots, vinegar and a pinch of salt. Let shallots soften for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard to dissolve, then whisk in the olive oil to make a thick dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a large stainless-steel soup pot bring 4 quarts of well-salted water to a rolling boil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until just done. Remove asparagus with a large strainer and spread out on a baking sheet lined with a clean kitchen towel. Asparagus may be served warm or at room temperature.
- To serve, place asparagus on a platter or individual plates. Spoon the vinaigrette over the asparagus. Garnish with quartered eggs (or roughly chop the eggs if you prefer). Sprinkle with chives.

Steps:
- Lower the eggs into enough boiling water to cover them and cook at a very gentle boil for 10 minutes. Drain off the water and shake the pan to crack the eggshells. Add ice to the pan and set aside for at least 15 minutes to cool completely. Shell the eggs and place them, one at a time, in an egg slicer, cut through them, then rotate them 45 degrees in the slicer and cut through them again to create strips. Alternatively, chop the eggs with a sharp knife. Set aside.
- Peel the lower third of the asparagus spears with a vegetable peeler. Bring 3 cups salted water to a boil in a large skillet. Add the asparagus, cover partially, and bring back to a boil over high heat. Boil over high heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until the spears are tender but still firm. Using a slotted spatula, remove the asparagus from the water and put it on a platter.
- For the sauce: Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- At serving time, arrange the asparagus spears on a platter, positioning them so the stem ends are close together and the tips are fanned out. Coat the lower third of the asparagus spears with the sauce and sprinkle the eggs and chives over and around them. Serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, woody, or have brown spots.
- Trim the asparagus spears before cooking. Cut off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also peel the asparagus spears if desired, but this is not necessary.
- Cook the asparagus quickly. Asparagus is a delicate vegetable that cooks quickly. Overcooking will make it tough and stringy. Blanching is a good way to cook asparagus quickly and evenly. To blanch asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge it into ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Serve the asparagus with your favorite sauce. Mustard sauce is a classic accompaniment to asparagus, but you can also serve it with other sauces, such as hollandaise, béarnaise, or vinaigrette.
Conclusion:
Asparagus with mustard sauce is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The asparagus is tender and flavorful, and the mustard sauce is tangy and creamy. This dish is also very easy to make, and it can be prepared in just a few minutes.
