Sweet Smoked Paprika adds a smoky taste to fried eggs. Served these beauties over crisp-tender asparagus. Red wine finishing salt starts your taste buds singing!

RAFFLECOPTER CODE:

I have to admit asparagus was never a vegetable I looked forward to eating. I grew up with canned asparagus which, has a decent flavor but texture-wise was best left creamed for soup.
Fresh asparagus is a whole different ball game! I was happy to learn that Michigan Asparagus is a sponsor for #BrunchWeek 2017. Young, tender asparagus can be used in so many dishes. Asparagus pairs well with sauces like Hollandaise or Béarnaise.
As a side, asparagus pairs well with fish, beef and fowl.
If you never cooked asparagus it can seem intimidating to get that perfect crisp-tender result. Thanks to this tip from Food Network, my asparagus turns out perfect every time!
Trim the ends and remove any woody areas on the stems. Wrap 8 to 10 spears in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 to 60 seconds at a time until it reaches your desired tenderness. That’s it! The color stays a vibrant green. Lovely!
I choose to let the asparagus shine by topping it off with smoked fried eggs. When you cut into that egg and the yolk covers the asparagus, you are in for quite the treat! Simple and delicious!
