Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Trim and discard the last 1 to 2 inches of the asparagus stalks and toss them with salt, black pepper, ajwain, and ghee or olive oil. Lay them flat on a cast iron shallow skillet or a small baking sheet. Roast the asparagus for 3 to 4 minutes until they are cooked but yet crisp.
Step 2
Drop the four eggs on top, sprinkle a little more salt and drizzle a touch of olive oil over them. Return the pan to the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes or until the whites are are done but the yolks are still runny.
Step 3
Sprinkle chile powder and cheese on top and serve immediately.
Notes & Variations
- Green asparagus can be substituted with white but the baking time will vary based on the thickness of the asparagus.
- Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes if you want the egg yolks firm.
- Add sliced serrano chile to the asparagus for a hotter finish.

1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
