- For the gremolata: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and olive oil and toast, stirring often with a wooden spoon until golden brown. Place in a small bowl and while still hot, add the lemon zest, red pepper flakes and salt. Mix together and cool the mixture to room temperature. Stir in the parsley and cheese.
- For the asparagus: Wipe the pan with a clean dish towel. Place over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the asparagus and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring and flipping often with tongs until the asparagus is bright green, cooked through and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Divide the asparagus among four serving plates. To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and place over medium-high heat. Crack 2 of the eggs into the pan, being careful as it may splatter, sprinkle with salt and reduce the heat slightly and cook until the edges are light brown and crispy and the whites are just set, 2 to 3 minutes. The yolk should still be runny. Repeat for the remaining 2 eggs. Using a slotted spatula, slide an egg on each plate.

ASPARAGUS ALLA MILANESE (POACHED ASPARAGUS WITH FRIED EGG AND PARMESAN CHEESE) RECIPE
Asparagus alla Milanese has just three main ingredients-asparagus, a fried egg, and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese-but don't let that simplicity fool you. It's an elegant and near-perfect dish: the asparagus is poached until juicy, the egg is lacy around the edges and has a flowing yolk that mingles with the cheese to make a flavorful sauce.

SCRAMBLED EGGS OVER ASPARAGUS
Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Clean and trim the asparagus by breaking off 1 asparagus end at its natural breaking point and lining up the tip end next to the remaining stalks. Trim them to the broken asparagus' length. Compost the woody ends. Lay the asparagus out on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place them in the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes or until tips are browned and starting to crisp.
- In a small cup, crack each egg. Add each egg to a mixing bowl, stir in the milk, and season with salt and pepper.
- Beat the egg mixture with a whisk, in a figure 8 pattern until the ingredients are completely blended together. In a nonstick saute pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, add the eggs and cook over low heat, stirring gently with a silicone spatula. Keep the eggs moving, continuing to cook until they are cooked but soft, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Warm the serving platter or serving plates in a preheated low temperature oven, or microwave the plate for 6 to 10 seconds. Scatter roasted asparagus on the heated plate, and spoon the scrambled eggs over the asparagus. Eat immediately and enjoy!

PAN-SEARED ASPARAGUS SALAD WITH FRISéE AND FRIED EGG
Here is a fine variation on the old combination of egg and asparagus. It is a twist on the bistro staple, frisée aux lardons, with pan-fried asparagus standing in for the bacon lardons. It's mixed with the frisée and a pungent garlic vinaigrette laced with a little anchovy. Then, in place of the usual poached egg nestled in curling frisée leaves, fry an egg until the edges are crisp and brown. This adds a vaguely baconlike nuance to the salad, without the meat.

SKILLET-BAKED EGGS AND ASPARAGUS
Asparagus and eggs have an affinity for each other. The voluptuous yolk softens and smoothes the grassy sharpness of the vegetable, while the asparagus brightens up the dull richness of the egg. The pair's most classic expression is asparagus hollandaise, but that is too fussy and time-consuming a preparation for a regular home-cooked breakfast. This dish combines the flavors in a time- and cook-friendly way.

Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus. Look for asparagus that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid asparagus that are wilted or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus. You can do this by bending each asparagus stalk until it snaps. The woody part will snap off naturally.
- Cook the asparagus al dente. This means that the asparagus should be tender but still have a slight crunch to it. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and bland.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook asparagus. Try different recipes and techniques until you find one that you love.
