Recipe from the weekend Guardian.

[Alf Tupper]

Roast new potatoes - seasoned with pepper - until they're nearly cooked, throw in asparugus and roast on, when asparugus nearly done make 4 wells in the roasting pan and crack in eggs. Roast on for a further 3 or 4 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. Throw over snipped chives or parsley or whatever you like.

Then eat, maybe with crusty bread to dip in the yolks.

Tried it a couple of nights ago, I think it's something that will join my tried and trusted regular meals.

sounds delicious! I'm trying to understand what 'wells in the roasting pan' are?  If I use a pan for roasting it's a flat one with short sides, no way to make wells?

Wells in the spuds and asparagus to take the eggs.

my husband makes a similar recipe, but uses mushrooms instead of the potatoes.  then adds tarragon and a bit of cream, right before the eggs.

I like the sound of mushrooms - not so keen on the cream.

I love baked eggs.
