Garlic Asparagus with Soft-Cooked Eggs
  1. 1

    Warm a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and the garlic; cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Add the asparagus and cook until it is fork-tender, turning the asparagus often for even cooking, about 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Spread the asparagus out and crack 2 eggs over it. Cover with a lid and cook until the egg whites are firm and the yolks reach your preferred doneness, about 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with red pepper flakes and serve right away.
