British Asparagus – Asparagus And Feta Egg Muffins

May 15, 2014 by GG 21 Comments

Asparagus And Feta Egg Muffins

Asparagus And Feta Egg Muffins

It’s asparagus season.  One of my favourite times of year.

When you think of asparagus, is it slathered in melted butter which dribbles down your chin as you eat the spears with your fingers?  Or wrapped in homemade mayonnaise, the sweetness of the asparagus contrasting with the bitterness of the olive oil?  Or nestled in  savoury creme patissiere, the puff pastry base crispy and golden?

One of my favourites is asparagus with egg, either grated yolk, mimosa style with melted butter or as mini muffins, an airy light frittata type mix with a salty hit from the cubes of feta and the asparagus standing to attention in each one and baked to puffy perfection.

    Is British asparagus any better than Australian asparagus? It certainly looks quite fantastic in these photos!

      It’s thinner and a little longer than regular asparagus, which means it’s sweeter. I love British asparagus. GG

    I love it when I see asparagus for sale in the shops as it lets me know the season has arrived and along with it, the arrival of Spring. These muffins look amazing and what an incredible start to the day these would be xx

      It must be strange looking at spring recipes as you head towards winter. I just love the produce from this time of year. GG

    The UK asparagus season is usually over by the time I hit the shores in July. I have great memories of huge plates of asparagus from nearby vale of Evesham eaten at The Plough at Ford slathered in Hollandaise or just butter.
    Love these mini- bite sized fritatas.
