Jammy Eggs and Asparagus with Zesty Lemon Herb

zesty lemon asparagus herb spices victoria gourmet recipes

For me there is no better pairing for asparagus than jammy eggs. The thickly set, spreadable yolk adds a soft and delicate texture and lusciousness. Zesty Lemon Herb brings the needed lemon and herb flavors. This is perfection.

Ingredients
