Preparation:
1. Preheat your oven to 400° F and line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Place eggs in a small pot and cover with at least 1” of water. Bring to a boil and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2. While waiting for water to boil, trim fibrous ends of asparagus. In a small bowl whisk olive oil, Maille White Wine Mustard with Fine Herbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss asparagus with mustard mixture and spread in a single layer on the sheet tray. Roast for 10 – 12 minutes until asparagus appears slightly charred but still al dente. Arrange on a platter or serving dish.
3. When the water begins to boil, cook eggs for additional 4 minutes. Remove eggs from the water and place in an ice bath or under a cold running faucet to stop the cooking. Peel eggs while slightly warm and separate whites and yolks.
4. Press first egg whites, and then yolks into a fine mesh strainer and use a spoon to scrape the light egg pieces into a small bowl. Season with remaining salt and top asparagus.

Chef’s Tip: “Older” (but not expired) eggs peel easier and clean
