Method:

Boil the egg to your liking. Drain and dry the egg and position in an
egg cup on a serving plate.

Poach-steam the asparagus for a minute or
so until just cooked.

Drain and toss in some melted butter and season to
taste.

Lay the ham in a single layer on a board and place the asparagus onto
the ham.

Roll up loosely and place next to the egg cup. Enjoy!

(PS an
afterthought: boil two eggs. Then roll small strips of ham around EACH
asparagus and then dipping them into the oozing golden yellowness of the
egg.

Can you see that in this case, one egg simply won’t do. Yummmmm…)
