Asparagus is served throughout the Lombardy region as a light meal for spring and summer when it is in full season. The rather large, soft, white variety with purplish tips is the kind used in this recipe.

salt

8 tablespoons butter

3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

4 eggs

DIRECTIONS

Clean the asparagus thoroughly and trim the root ends to make them all the same length. Tie in a bundle with kitchen string. Stand the asparagus upright in a saucepan with water reaching halfway up the stems; this way the tips are cooked by steaming. Add a little salt to the water, bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes.

Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet and add an egg. Cook it and set aside. Repeat the process for the remaining 3 eggs. Divide the asparagus among 4 serving plates, cover them generously with grated parmesan and top each serving with an egg. Melt the remaining butter until boiling fast and pour over the asparagus.

Have had this recipe in France at a restaurant run by Italians, only the eggs were poached. My family loves it.
