Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

Asparagus is a traditional Spring dish so it goes great for Easter.  Here is a super simple, full of flavor version – Bacon Wrapped Asparagus

What you need:

  • 1 large bundle of fresh asparagus, about a pound
  • 12 oz package of bacon
  • sea salt
  • olive oil
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, chopped

How to Do it:

Rinse the asparagus and remove the tough, white ends.  Separate them into bundles of about 5-6 stalks.

Wrap each bundle with a slice of bacon.
