Ingredients
Sour Cream Horseradish Sauce
4 tsp (20 ml) creamed horseradish
1 Tbsp (15 ml) wholegrain mustard
1 Tbsp (15 ml) chives, finely chopped

20 strips (400 g) of streaky bacon

Method

Stir everything together and keep it in the fridge until ready to use.
Asparagus
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a strip of bacon and place on a baking tray. Roast for 15 – 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
Boil the eggs for 8 – 9 minutes for medium-boiled or if you prefer, cook them for 10 – 12 minutes for hard-boiled. Place the eggs in a bowl of cold water until they are cool enough to work with, and then peel and chop into chunks.
Serve the crispy bacon-wrapped asparagus topped with the chopped egg and a generous dollop of sour cream horseradish sauce. Garnish with micro herbs or basil.
TIP: Replace the sour cream with Greek yoghurt and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicier alternative.
