Baked Eggs with Asparagus Soldiers

Introduction

These eggs, baked in a blanket of crème fraîche with mushroom and spring onion, are inspired by Rachel Khoo and a quick fridge forage for ingredients. Serve with mountains of hot buttered toast (cut into soldiers, of course). I give the quantities per person, because then it’s easy to scale up if you’re serving two, four, or having a luxurious breakfast for one.
