Blanch the asparagus in boiling salted water for about a minute, remove it from the water and place it on four plates equally, sprinkling some of the Parmigiano.

Preheat a non-stick skillet and melt some (be generous) butter in it, crack two eggs per person and fry to your liking. Place the eggs on each plate on top of the asparagus, smother with the butter from the skillet and then sprinkle as much parmigiano as your conscience will allow.

Optional:

Black Truffle puree or fresh black or white truffle when available, just mix it in with the warm butter after the eggs are removed and drizzle all over the dish… YUMMY!
