Ingredients

  • 4 ounces Bacon, finely chopped
  • 1 lb Asparagus, cut diagonally
  • 2 large Egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp Finely grated Parmesan
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions 

  • Preheat a large non-stick skillet to medium high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Drain off the excess renderings, leaving just enough to coat the skillet. 
  • Next, add the asparagus and 2 tablespoons of water and cook over medium high heat until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 2 to 4 minutes. 
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately add in the egg yolks and butter to the skillet. Cook, tossing the asparagus, until the butter is melted. 
  • Toss in the Parmesan and season with salt and the pepper. Transfer to a bowl and enjoy!
