Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

4- Season and Assemble:

• Drizzle the olive oil over the asparagus and tomatoes.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Crumble the Boursin cheese over the top.

5- Add the Eggs:

• Crack 4 eggs over the mixture, spacing them evenly.
• Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

6- Bake:

• Return the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes.
• Adjust the time to achieve your desired level of egg yolk runniness.

7- Serve:

• Remove the skillet from the oven and serve immediately with crispy bread for dunking.
• Enjoy the mix of textures and flavors as you dip and savor.
