directions
- Place a small film of oil in a wide-based pan and cook the prosciutto pieces until they change colour and then place on paper towelling so they drain and crisp up.
- Snap off the asparagus spears at the tender point, cut them in half on the diagonal and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes in hot water or until they are just tender and then drain them.
- Place a handful of greens neatly on each plate and arrange over the prosciutto pieces, asparagus spears and spring onions that you have sliced thinly on the diagonal.
- Bring a pan of salted water to the simmer and drop in the cracked eggs and simmer until the whites are set but the yolks remain soft and then lift them out the an egg slice and touch the base of this on a clean tea towel to drain and arrange an egg on each plate.
- For the dressing combine the juice of the lemon with the garlic and plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Add about 3 times the amount of olive oil to lemon juice and mix together and then drizzle over the salad.

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
