Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Kosher salt
8 slender asparagus spears, sliced on diagonal to 1-inch lengths
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon prepared grainy mustard
4 teaspoons minced fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices good-quality bread, toasted
8 seasoned soft-cooked eggs
2 teaspoons Cognac or brandy

Steps:

  • Fill a medium bowl with ice water, and set aside. Bring 5 cups water to boil in medium saucepan. Add 2 teaspoons kosher salt and asparagus. Cook until tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Using slotted spoon, transfer asparagus to ice water very briefly, remove, and dry on paper towels. Set aside.
  • Combine butter, mustard, chives, pepper and a pinch of kosher salt in small bowl, and mix with fork until light and fluffy. Scrape butter onto 6-inch square of plastic wrap, roll tightly into log about 1 inch in diameter, and refrigerate until firm. Thirty minutes before serving, remove butter from refrigerator, slice into four medallions, cover lightly, and set aside.
  • Warm blanched asparagus pieces briefly in hot water. Place hot torn toast in 4 small bowls. Drain asparagus, and sprinkle over toast or place in 4 cocktail glasses.
  • To assemble, place 2 eggs on top of toast in bowls or in glasses (with toast on the side). Splash with Cognac. Drop butter medallions onto each portion, and serve.
