Bazzer's Danish Bacon

Serves 2

Prep time 5 mins
Cooking time 30 mins
Ingredients

• 1 Bunch Asparagus (10 spears)
• 4 Rashers unsmoked streaky bacon
• 2 Large eggs
• Extra virgin olive oil
• 4 tbsp milk
• Black pepper

Method

• Rinse the asparagus under cold running water and pat dry, cut off any woody stems.
• Use a small amount of olive oil to grease an oven proof dish; I use a 6"X4" dish that holds 3/4 pint of liquid.
• Line the inside of the dish with the bacon to cover completely.
• Lay the asparagus in the dish.
• Whisk the eggs with the milk until frothy and pour the egg mixture over the asparagus.
• Season with freshly milled black pepper.
• Put into a pre heated oven gas mark 6/400ºF/200ºC, middle shelf for about 30 mins.
• When cooked, remove from oven and using oven gloves, put a small plate on top of the dish and carefully turn over.
• Cut into 1" slices and divide between 2 plates, slightly overlap the slices.

Equipment

• 3/4 pint Oven dish

Cooks tip

• This tastes excellent cold served with a crispy salad.
