- When the eggs are cold, dry them off on a tea towel, roll them in seasoned flour, and dip in egg wash.
- Roll the eggs in panko bread crumbs.
- Deep fry the eggs until golden
- Grill your asparagus spears with some olive oil and season
- Next roll each asparagus spear in some sliced Bayonne ham
- Put asparagus on plate, and spoon over a nice dollop of Hollandaise sauce
- Place crispy duck egg on top of dollop
- Grate some fresh parmesan over the top
