Method
- Wrap each stalk of asparagus in the pancetta.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, then lower in 4 medium free-range eggs to cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a knob of butter in a frying pan and fry the wrapped asparagus over a medium heat, turning frequently, for about 4 minutes or until the asparagus is just tender and the pancetta is golden.
