Description

Learn how to make this traditional Belgian Asperges à La Flamande, featuring white tender asparagus and a herby egg topping. A perfect side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz white asparagus
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the asparagus

Peeling the asparagus, starting from below the tip down to the base. Trim off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. 

Cook the asparagus

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peeled asparagus and cook, 8-10 minutes, or until tender. (While cooking the asparagus, you can prepare the eggs.)

Prepare the eggs

  1. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Gently add the eggs into the water, and boil, about 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water until the shells are completely cooled.
  2. Peel and chop the boiled eggs. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the chopped parsley and melted butter. Season with salt and ground black pepper, and mix until well combined.

How to serve

Arrange the cooked asparagus on a serving plate, and spoon the egg mixture over the asparagus spears. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil before serving for an extra touch of richness. Enjoy!
