Tips
For the egg, cook for 4 minutes and 30 seconds from boiling water, then immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
When cold and peeled, coat the egg in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs (can add crushed crackers or grissini to breadcrumbs for extra crispiness).
For frying, use an air fryer for 5 minutes at maximum power, or traditional frying in boiling oil at 180°C.
For asparagus, peel the stalks. Marinate thinner raw parts with lemon, oil, salt, and pepper.
Blanch thicker asparagus bases in boiling water, then immediately transfer to ice water to maintain vibrant green color, then season with oil, salt, pepper, and lemon.
