I was surprised to come across this concept for broiled asparagus and eggs - apparently it's a thing? - but I was intrigued enough to try it.
1 lb asparagus - the good end, chopped into about 1 inch pieces
1/4 onion, diced
4 eggs
lemon juice, olive oil, salt & pepper
Turn on the broiler and get the rack about 5 inches below. Put 1-2 tbsp oil in a skillet and heat it in the oven. Add the vegetables and coat in the oil, then cook until lightly browned, a few minutes. Clear the center of the skillet and crack in the eggs. Cook until set but still runny (could be as quick as a minute or two). Sprinkle with lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and eat.
I made it as a hearty side for a steak, which overall worked out pretty well, i.e., I didn't go hungry. I reduced the portion size but not proportionally - could have used another egg and (a lot) less onion. Not sure I nailed it but worth trying again. Spargel!
