Baked Eggs with Bacon & Asparagus

Recipe by Simple Bites

Ingredients

• 2 pieces bacon
• 1/4 bunch asparagus
• 1/4 tsp lemon zest
• 1 sprigs thyme
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 eggs

Directions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Wash asparagus thoroughly, as they may be gritty, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the bottom two-thirds of peel.
• Lay the bacon onto a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 8 minutes or until crispy.
• Remove pan from oven and carefully transfer the bacon to a paper towel.
• Drain off most of the bacon fat, leaving about a tablespoon in the pan.
• Add the asparagus to the same pan and shake it around gently to coat the vegetables in grease.
• Arrange asparagus in a single layer and sprinkle it with lemon zest, thyme leaves, and pepper.
• Roast asparagus for about 8 minutes or until it begins to soften.
• Remove pan from the oven and gently crack the eggs on top of the asparagus.
• Return the dish to the oven and roast another 4 to 5 minutes or until eggs have reached desired consistency.
• Return bacon to the pan. Serve.
