Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 1 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 8 thin-stemmed asparagus stalks, trimmed

  • 2 large eggs

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and garlic; cook and stir until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. Add asparagus and cook until fork-tender, turning asparagus often to ensure even cooking, about 4 minutes.

  3. Spread asparagus out and crack 2 eggs over the asparagus. Cover with lid and cook until egg whites are firm and yolk is done to desired consistency, about 4 minutes.

  4. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
