With just three ingredients the perfect breakfast is ready in 20 min - Perfection and simply deliciousness!"
NotesAsparagus will cook very quickly so in order to avoid overcooking it I do suggest that you wrap it with a pretty thinly cut rashers of bacon. If your bacon isn’t the thinnest one available just use little strips.
Don't worry if your bacon has got some fat as long as it's not too much of it. Another tip for this recipe would be to buy the asparagus that has got chunkier stalks.

Cooking Time15 min
Ingredients
- 4 eggs (soft boiled) * see recipe notes
- 20 stalks of asparagus
- 10 rashers bacon
Instruction
-
Line an oven dish or tray with baking paper. I used a Silpat mat.
-
Wash the asparagus and slightly pat dry. Trim of the woody bits at the end of the stem (approx 2-3 cm) * (see recipe notes).
-
Cut your bacon rashes into 2-3 strips lengthways.
-
Wrap the bacon strips around the asparagus stems and place on the prepared oven tray/dish.
-
Place the oven tray in the middle of the oven and turn the heat on set to 190 C *(see recipe notes). Bake until the bacon is nice and crisp, I would say for about 15 to a maximum of 20 minutes.
