Low-Carb Asparagus Mimosa

Well hello to plate prettiness! This Low-carb Asparagus Mimosa is not only ridiculously delicious, super easy to make, but it’s also one of the prettiest plates I’ve stared down at in a while!

The asparagus is roasted to bring out the flavour, but feel free to steam or griddle if you prefer. Topped with hard boiled eggs and a zingy Dijon dressing, it’s great for a BBQ or light vegetarian keto meal or as a healthy keto-friendly side dish. Pair with your favourite source of protein for a balanced keto dinner.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional). Remove the woody ends from the asparagus.

2. Toss the asparagus in the olive oil or butter and salt and roast for 12 minutes (depending on thickness), or until golden but with a bite. (Option to place under the griddle for 5 minutes, turning once or steam for 5 - 6 minutes and then rub in the butter/ olive oil and season to taste. If using fine asparagus of tips, lessen the cooking times accordingly.)

   

3. Bring a pan of hot water to the boil. Add the eggs and simmer for 10 minutes.

   

4. Run under cold water and peel. Allow to cool then cut in half and separate the whites from the yolks.

5. Place in two separate cups and chop fine with a knife. Season with a touch of salt and pepper and ¹/₄ tsp butter or olive oil.

   

6. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl.

   

7. Plate the asparagus, top with the egg whites then egg yolks and drizzle with dressing. Tastes the best when served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for 1 day.
