Pancetta-wrapped Asparagus with Soft-boiled Eggs

I got this idea from Jamie Oliverโ€™s book Jamie At Home. It was a decent breakfast. Nothing beats bacon fat in the morning.

  1. 2 eggs per person
  2. 4 fat asparagus per person
  3. 3 slices of mild pancetta per person

To soft boil eggs (I was fiddling with the asparagus and overcooked the eggs so the picture isnโ€™t really of a soft boiled egg), cover eggs with cold water and bring to boil. Once the water is boiling, turn the heat down to gentle simmer and boil for 3 minutes.

Trim back the woody ends of the asparagus and wrap the pancetta around the asparagus. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes at 220โ€™c or until the pancetta is crispy. Serve.
