Celebrating Asparagus Season With 3 Recipes On Sourdough Toast!

We love celebrating British seasonal vegetables. Join us as we celebrate Asparagus season this month!

And what better way to incorporate them into our diet than on a crunchy piece of Sourdough toast! We think it’s a great way to support local farmers AND reduce bread waste at home.

We love them roasted in the oven, on a bed of creamy scrambled eggs and a sprinkle of chives & almond flakes on Sourdough toast.

‘Asparagus On Toast’ Recipe 3:

A nutritious & balanced brunch recipe for the whole family, made with seasonal asparagus, smoked salmon and poached eggs. It’s got the good stuff & the wow factor all in one toast-full! Dress it with a squeeze of lemon & a sprinkle of dill for the summery touch.

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
• 2 large free-range eggs
• 250g asparagus bunch, woody ends snapped off
• 100g smoked salmon slices, roughly torn
• 2 slices of White Country ‘True Loaf’ Sourdough bread, toasted and buttered
• Lemon wedges to serve

Method:

• Bring a large deep pan filled with water to the boil, add the vinegar, lower the heat, then carefully crack each egg into the pan, making sure they’re spaced apart. Cook gently for 3 minutes, then remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Meanwhile, blanch the asparagus in another pan of boiling salted water for 1 minute. Drain, then slice the spears into 1.5cm pieces.
• Stir the asparagus and smoked salmon together, then lay on top of the toast slices. Top each with a poached egg and season with salt & pepper. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over. Sprinkle with some dill leaves for extra flavour.
