Mister and I have been eating well lately. A little too well, actually. And so we have to rein it in. No more pork belly. No more short ribs. No more multi-course dinners. For a while.
In an effort to not cook so much meat, I made this awesome vegetarian dinner the other night. It was easy, to boot. I just toasted some butter-smeared brioche buns in a skillet, then topped the bottom halves with asparagus in a lemon-butter sauce. Then I plopped a fried egg on top of the asparagus, grated some parmesan cheese over the egg, drizzled some good olive oil over the whole she-bang, then placed the brioche bun top on the side. I added a little balsamic crema for color and that was it. And y’all, it was super good. In fact, I’m gonna add this one to the rotation.
Don’t get me wrong – we’re not giving up our status as card-carrying carnivores. We just want to eat a little less meat is all. And with vegetarian food this good, we don’t mind one bit.
