Eggs in cocotte with asparagus and pecorino cream. A second based on simple but smart eggs. Or even a starter for those with a hearty appetite, with one of my favorite seasonal vegetables: Asparagus. To prepare eggs en cocotte must use the bowls to stand the heat of the oven and then you can bring to the table. The eggs, They are enriched with a cream and cream cheese and the ever freshly ground black pepper. The asparagus to make a perfect dish for a spring brunch, maybe for Easter Monday or appetizer on Easter Sunday day.
If you found wild asparagus would be better, but you might also try otherwise theAltedo IGP asparagus, white ones of Cimadolmo IGP, DOP Bassano and those purple Albenga: all with a particularly tasty flavor.
I love serving typically eggs in cocotte or poached with PAN BRIOCHE homemade, but they are also great with simple grilled or toasted bread. Eggs en cocotte with asparagus and cream cheese delicious and beautiful to see and please all, even the smallest. If you love asparagus I suggest you take a look at all my RECIPES WITH ASPARAGUS and my SPRING RECIPES. And if you are looking for a brunch dishes in which eggs are the absolute protagonists, you might find inspiration in all my RECIPES WITH EGGS. Have a good day!

Pour a little cream cheese in each ramekin and break an egg. Season with salt, pepper and combine the asparagus, both the tips both pieces of stalk. Bake in a water bath (putting the cocotte in a baking pan with water that it reaches about half the cocotte) for 10 minutes.
When white will have curdled but the Red will still be soft, almost liquid, remove from oven and serve immediately with abundant brioche bread (for the brioche recipe click here on basics) or toast.
