@Eating Deliciously, @sophia, thanks for your comments!

Sophia, the French eat asparagus with eggs too, but the Parmesan cheese is 100% Italian :)

Oh what a delightful yet simple presentation! That's one of my favorite ways to eat anything-- dripping with golden egg yolk.

I always thought this was a French dish though! Probably because of the movie Julie & Julia.

Such a simple and delicious way to serve asparagus...

Thanks Sissi for your kind comment and for your feedback on Italian food in French speaking Switzerland :) Yes, we still have asparagus in August, but they taste kind of bland all year round... I'm sure the ones you find have a lot more flavor.

Hi Paolo, I have just discovered your blog (thanks to Nami of course!) and I love it. I have just enjoyed reading the misspelled words and have seen the lightest coffee picture in my life! I think you would love visiting Italian restaurants in the French-speaking part of Switzerland (where I live). The big majority of the restaurants are Italian and even as a non-Italian I sometimes want to scream when I see the menu.
Your recipes are very inspiring!
Actually, I make asparagus with egg and parmesan very often, but I didn't know it was a real Italian dish! (I just love asparagus+fried egg and parmesan... I don't know, something was missing, I opened the fridge and saw parmesan!).
I envy you asparagus in August! We no longer have them here since July :-(

You're right, more than a recipe this is really a (short) list of ingredients :) But it does taste amazing, as long as those ingredients are of good quality and cooked properly. Sort of the essence of Italian food :)

Such a simple recipe, yet I've never tried eating asparagus like this! Egg yolk, Parmesan, and asparagus combination must be very delicious. I have to give it a try next time I eat asparagus or eggs (it works either way!). :-)
