Truffled Quail Eggs with Baby Asparagus and Prosciutto
Recipe courtesy of Rosario Safina
Yield
Serves 6
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of thin asparagus, washed
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 6 slices of prosciutto
- 6 quail eggs, or 6 tiny chicken eggs
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoon grated parmigiano
- 1 teaspoon da Rosario USDA 100% Organic White Truffle Flavored Olive Oil
Directions
1. Brush asparagus with olive oil.
2. Place on medium temperature grill.
3. Roll occasionally until grill marks appear.
4. Set aside, then turn grill down to the lowest flame.
5. Wait a few minutes, and place each slice of prosciutto individually on the grill for about ten seconds. This will crisp the ham and give it a smoky flavor. Set aside as well.
6. Fry one egg per person sunny side up, 2-3 eggs per pan. Don’t overcook - make sure the yolks are still runny.
7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
8. On individual plates, put a bed of grilled asparagus; add crumpled prosciutto, then one egg.
9. Top each serving with a light dusting of parmigiano, followed by 1 teaspoon of da Rosario USDA 100% Organic White Truffle Flavored Olive Oil.
