Yield: 2 Servings

Ingredients:

• 6 asparagus stalks, blanched
• 1 teaspoon salted butter
• 1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ gallon water
• 2 Tablespoons white wine vinegar
• Pinch salt
• 8 quail eggs
• 8 savory waffles, spoon-shaped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Small bunch mâche
• 4 ounces raw Alba white truffle

Method:
Sauté asparagus in butter and olive oil until golden. In a small pot, put a ¼ gallon of water, vinegar and a sprinkle of salt. Crack open the eggs very gently and place in 8 different bowls. When the water is simmering, place eggs one by one in the water and shift the whites with a spoon to cover the yolks. As the eggs cook, in less than a minute, gently remove them and place them in a cool water bath. Place the sautéed asparagus on a plate, top with the waffle spoon and place a poached egg in each spoon. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and mâche for decoration. Use a mandolin to shave the truffle on top of the dish.
