Steps

1

Prepare the Parmesan crisps. Arrange grated Parmesan in a circle on parchment paper and cook in a pan until it starts to melt and change color. Place two of them over a bowl to shape them, leaving the other two flat.
2

Cook the asparagus in a saucepan over medium heat with a lid for 15-20 minutes, seasoning with salt and oil.
3

Poach the eggs: bring a small pot of water with a splash of vinegar to a gentle boil. Create a whirlpool and crack the egg into it. Cook for two minutes without moving it.
4

Prepare the Parmesan and pepper fondue: melt the cheese in a little milk, heat over high heat for a few minutes, let cool, and add pepper to taste.
5

Meanwhile, wilt the prosciutto in the microwave to make crispy flakes.
6

Arrange the asparagus on the Parmesan crisp, seasoning with the fondue and adding the prosciutto.
7

Place the poached egg in the Parmesan basket, garnishing with crispy prosciutto flakes and asparagus tips as desired.
