Egg & Soldiers

Ingredients

• Hard-Boiled Egg (1 large)
• Asparagus (7 spear, medium (5-1/4" to 7" long))

Instructions

1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Using a spoon, gently lower the egg into the water. Cook for exactly 6½ minutes, adjusting the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle boil.
2. Add two inches of water to a steamer and boil. Add asparagus to the basket and lower into boiling water. Remove asparagus when tips are just tender.
3. Cut the soft-boiled egg in half and serve with the steamed asparagus for dipping.
