- Yield: Serves 4
- Category: Breakfast
Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh asparagus
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 4 eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons chopped, fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or lay down a sheet of parchment paper.
- Arrange the asparagus and cherry tomatoes in an even layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme and salt and pepper.
- Roast the vegetables in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the tomatoes are wrinkled.
- Remove the pan from the oven and crack the eggs on top of the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and return the pan to the oven.
- Bake 7 to 8 minutes, or until the whites are cooked through, but the yolks are still a bit runny. (If you don’t like runny yolks, cook until set, but be careful not to overcook the eggs or they’ll be rubbery.)
- Remove from oven and divide into four servings. Eat at once.
