  4. 4

    Boil the tips in the same water for a few minutes until just tender but still crisp.

  5. 5

    Slice the carrots, toss with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt. Sauté in a hot pan for a few minutes, adding a tablespoon of water if needed. Set aside to cool slightly.

  6. 6

    In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, blended asparagus stalks, remaining grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Then add the carrots and breadcrumbs, and stir until combined.

  7. 7

    Heat olive oil in a skillet and pour in the mixture.

  8. 8

    Arrange the asparagus tips in a star pattern on top.

  9. 9

    Cover with a lid for a few minutes to help it cook through.
