4 eggs

30 gram butter

1 cup (70g) coarse bread crumbs

1 clove garlic, crushed

3 bunch (500g) asparagus, trimmed

1 tablespoon olive oil

200 gram ham off the bone, sliced thinly

1 bunch fresh chives, chopped finely

salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method

1.Place eggs in medium saucepan, add enough hot tap water to just cover eggs. Bring to boil; boil for 3 minutes. Drain eggs and place in bowl of cold water immediately, cool, Peel eggs, cut into quarters.

2.Meanwhile, melt butter in a large frying pan, add breadcrumbs and garlic; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until golden and crisp.

3.Brush asparagus with oil; cook asparagus and ham on a heated, oiled grill plate (or frying pan) over medium heat until asparagus is tender and ham is crisp.

4.Place asparagus on a sewing platter, top with eggs, ham, breadcrumbs, chives, salt and pepper.

This recipe is no great way to use leftover Christmas ham. We used crusty Italian bread to make the breadcrumbs. Not suitable to freeze or microwave.
