Ingredients

1 pound asparagus, trimmed

1 cup grape tomatoes

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

4 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.

  2. Spread the asparagus and tomatoes on the prepared baking sheet, then drizzle with exrta-virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper if desired. Bake 12-15 minutes, until tender.

  3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat 2-3 inches of water to boiling. Break one egg into a small bowl. Slip the egg into boiling water, then reduce to a simmer.
