This sandwich was so freakin' amazing. It combines my love of asparagus, hard boiled eggs and baguette - what isn't to like? Next time, I will chop up the asparagus to make the sandwich stay together better, because it is messy trying to bite through those stalks.
I also ate this open-faced. Because I wanted it to last forever.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 bundle Asparagus, chopped
2 small Baguettes (or 1 large, divided)
4 Eggs, hard boiled and sliced
2 tbsp Olive Oil, divided
1/4 Red Onion, diced
French Mustard, to taste
1/4 cup Red / White Wine Vinegar
Lemon Juice, to taste
2 tbsp Fresh Dill, diced
Salt + Pepper
1. Place eggs in a pot and add water until eggs are just covered. Boil water, then simmer for 10 minutes. Place eggs in freezer to cool quickly.
Hard boiled eggs are also one of my favorite healthy snacks, so I made extras.
2. Dice red onion and place in a small bowl with the red wine vinegar to pickle. Set aside.
3. Trim asparagus and chop into 1-inch pieces. In a large pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and add asparagus. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side. Don't move asparagus too much, to get a good char.
4. Dice dill. Peel and slice eggs. Drain onions.
5. Split baguettes and toast. Smear with olive oil and mustard. Top with asparagus, eggs, dill, onions, and spray lemon juice on top. Add salt + pepper to taste.
