Every once in a while I go through my old recipes to look for ones that need improving, mostly photo-wise. Today’s recipe is one that I originally created nearly 3 years ago and I hadn’t actually made it since. So I decided to remake it, modify the ingredients a little bit to balance the flavours out more and to completely reshoot it. It’s turned into a fantastic meal you can have for breakfast, brunch or lunch! It’s a little bowl of sunshine filled with spring/summer flavours: asparagus, fresh mint, basil and chives and some sun-dried tomatoes.
It’s really easy to make and if you’re expecting guests you can make the pea puree beforehand, boil the asparagus beforehand and just pan fry them for a minute when your guests are waiting and you’ll then have their plates ready within 5 minutes (once your eggs are fried you are good to go!)
The Irish and British asparagus season begins in April (you can easily find out when something’s in season on the Bord Bia website) and ends in July. So if you want to buy them local you only have a few months to do so!

Your photos are just lovely! This looks like an incredibly delicious and healthy brunch dish. I could definitely see this on the table of a five-star Bed and Breakfast.

The pictures in this article are stunning and the dish looks delicious. I’m not a big fan of peas so I would replace the pea puree for a potato puree.

Not a fan of peas either in general but I mixed them up with some great herbs to make the puree so you may like it after all? Wouldn’t recommend using potato puree for this, it’ll make the meal too heavy but you could replace it with some pan-fried mushrooms for example, it’s light and it matches well with asparagus and eggs (and prosciutto and sun-dried tomatoes too)
