Balsamic Roasted Strawberry, Asparagus & Bacon Sheet-Pan Breakfast
Servings: 4
Calories: 159kcal
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce/340-gram) package of uncured bacon
- 1 pound (454 g) fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
- 10 ounces (283 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (quartered if large)
- 8 ounces (227 g) shallots, peeled and halved (quartered if large)
- 2 tablespoons (30 mL) good-quality balsamic vinegar
- 2 teaspoons (2 g) fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- Kosher or fine sea salt , to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper , to taste
- 4-6 large eggs
Instructions
- Cook the bacon on a rimmed baking sheet according to the package directions (depending on thickness, this will typically be about 15-20 minutes in a 375°F oven, or until crispy); drain on a paper towel and set aside.
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven; preheat to 350°F. Scrape most of the bacon fat from the baking sheet into a jar for another use, leaving about 3 tablespoons on the baking sheet.
- Combine the asparagus, strawberries, shallots, vinegar, and thyme on the baking sheet and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper and spread in a single layer.
- Roast, uncovered, for 15-18 minutes or until the shallots and asparagus are almost done. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and create 4-6 nests in the veggie mixture. Crack an egg into each nest and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Return to the oven and cook until the egg whites are set, about 5 minutes, watching closely to ensure the yolks do not cook.
- Transfer to serving plates, add the cooked bacon, garnish with thyme leaves, and serve immediately.
