Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups

September 30, 2014 By JJ 4 Comments

Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups

Remember how I said that I’d been inspired by an asparagus delivery to create a stack of seasonal Spring-inspired recipes? This is the second of those, because brunch.

Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups

I’ve been seeing baked egg cups everywhere lately but they’re usually lined with ham and have little other than an egg in the centre.

Staring at the bunches of asparagus in my fridge reminded me of little trees, and before I knew it I’d created a forrest of spears in salmon lined cups and baked it all together with egg.

A word of advice, make more than you think you’ll need lest you have a disappointed husband that goes looking for more than his allotted two, ahem.

In other news I’m still head down in stacks of work and while that means I’m a bit missing in action round here there’s still plenty happening on Instagram (and by default Facebook and sometimes Twitter too). Pop over and say hi if you’d like!

Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg Cups

Asparagus & Smoked Salmon Egg CupsEggs, smoked salmon and asparagus are a match made in heaven. You could serve them all separately over a slice of toast but an asparagus forest baked into a smoked salmon fritatta cup is so much more fun.

Makes 4, serves 2 

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 – 16 spears asparagus
  • 4 slices smoked salmon
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 Tbsp milk/water/milk substitute
  • cracked black pepper

METHOD

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Spray or wipe 4 cups of a muffin tin with a bit of oil and line with smoked salmon. Whisk eggs and milk/water with a crack or two of pepper.

Slice asparagus spears into 1 inch (2 ½ cm) lengths and arrange into a little forrest in each salmon cup. Divided egg mixture evenly between the cups.

Bake for 10 – 15 mins until egg is just set. Cool in tin 5 mins before running a knife around the edge of each cup to pop out. Serve with a side salad, or just eat as is.

    Oh my, this looks amazing. I found the first of the new season’s asparagus here this week – it’s my favourite veg and I’m always looking for new ways to try it. This is a definite must – can’t wait to try.

    Wow. My parents are paleo, so I love coming across ideas that fit their diet – and looks easy/healthy. Thanks so much! Brilliance!

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
