INGREDIENTS

• 8 ounces fresh asparagus
• salt
• ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• squeeze of fresh lemon juice
• 2 eggs, hard-cooked and chopped
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chervil

DIRECTIONS

• Trim the asparagus stalks and peel off the tough outer layers at the base with a vegetable peeler.
• Poach the asparagus spears in lightly salted water, until just tender. This will take between 3-6 minutes. (Use a clean, deep frying pan if you don't have an asparagus steamer.)
• Drain the asparagus well and arrange on two small plates or one large one. Season well.
• Mix the melted butter with the lemon juice. Trickle over the spears, sprinkle with the eggs and garnish with the chervil. Serve warm.
