Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 baguette
- 2 medium potatoes
- 200g asparagus
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Cut the potatoes into small, uniform cubes approximately 1 cm in size.
- Clean the asparagus by washing them and trimming off the tough woody ends. Cut the asparagus into small diagonal pieces about 2-3 cm long.
- Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potato cubes and sauté them, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and crispy on the outside, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the asparagus is tender but still bright green.
- While the vegetables are cooking, slice the baguette diagonally into 8 equal pieces. Lightly toast the bread slices until they are golden and crisp.
- In a separate pan, fry the eggs sunny-side up, keeping the yolks soft and runny. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Arrange the toasted baguette slices on a serving platter. Top each slice with the potato and asparagus mixture.
- Carefully place a fried egg on top of each bruschetta, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
- Drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil over the bruschette if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients - the simplicity of this dish means each component truly matters.
- Cut potato and asparagus pieces uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
- Toast the baguette just before serving to maintain maximum crispness.
- Cook eggs sunny-side up carefully to keep the yolks beautifully runny.
- Serve immediately while everything is still warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor and visual appeal.
