Ham and Asparagus Egg Sandwiches

Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 1⁄3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbs. apricot preserves
  • ¼ tsp. curry powder
  • 8 oz. asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 2 tsp. butter
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 ciabatta rolls or 1 ciabatta loaf, cut in half crosswise
  • 4 thin slices country-style ham (6 oz.)
  • 4 oz. sliced white cheddar cheese

Instructions

Directions:

  1. In small bowl combine mayonnaise, apricot preserves and curry powder. Set aside.
  2. Place asparagus spears in a single layer in a shallow baking pan.
  3. Pour enough boiling water over asparagus to cover. Let stand for 10 to 12 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
  4. For fried eggs, in a large skillet melt butter over medium heat.
  5. Break eggs into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low; cook eggs for 3 to 4 minutes or until whites are completely set and yolks start to thicken. If desired, turn eggs and cook for 30 seconds more (over easy) or 1 minute more (over hard).
  6. Toast bread. Spread mayo-curry mixture on roll bottoms.
  7. Top with cheese, ham, asparagus spears and fried eggs. Add roll tops. (If using ciabatta loaf, cut loaf to make 4 sandwiches).
