Asparagus Minmosa (with egg & coated breadcrumbs)
For every four people…
2 to 3 bunches of cooked asparagus (warm or room temperature)
2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped  
¼ cup coarse breadcrumbs
2 tbsp chopped parsley
Your vinaigrette
 
​For the bread-crumbs, I use the Japanese-style panko crumbs. Easy.
In a small frypan, with a little olive oil, lightly brown the breadcrumbs.
Just before serving, lightly dress at the asparagus with vinaigrette.
Mix together eggs, breadcrumbs and parsley. (Keep the crumbs crisp.)
Arrange on top of the asparagus.
Serving platter - a "Barbotine" by Sarguemines c.1950

Ah, Asparagus Mimosa… don't forget a Mimosa Cocktail in hand… A wonderful retro recipe. Thank you for bringing this deserving one out of oblivion, tomorrow's dinner for sure.
The décor "à la barbotine" is a technique used to fix a porcelain decoration onto porcelain - look at how those two proud white spears frame your dish, the slant cut, so kitsch, so… perfect!

Thank you for posting Hélène. I'm sure you'll have a lovely dinner tonight. Alerted by you, I'm now looking into our butter shortage crisis.

I love the simplicity of the recipe, because I happened to have all the ingredients at hand. A delightful lunch!

I"m loving how many people have been able to rediscover this classic and also put it to good use.

It's so great that people are doing this again. So easy, so simple to serve. Don't you just love those Panko crumbs? (Are you able to get them in Ballarat?)

Watching the 5 year old asparagus patch with great anticipation. It looks like a bumper 2018 crop to be dealt with. 'Mimosa' will be first dish. More suggestions please.
